Find tax deed sales before auction day.

Tax auctions are the public sales counties hold to collect unpaid property tax. A tax deed auction sells the property; a tax lien auction sells a claim on the unpaid tax, and the buyer reaches the property only if the owner never pays. TaxSalesFeed lists 30,144 upcoming sales by county, and a calendar of 198 county auctions announced nationwide.

A tax deed auction, or tax deed sale, is a public auction at which a county sells real property to recover property taxes left unpaid. In Florida it follows a tax certificate: an investor pays the overdue tax, and two years later may apply for a tax deed, which puts the parcel up for auction by the clerk of court. The published notice of that application is the public record that the sale is coming.

From the legal notices counties publish in newspapers, and from clerk, tax collector and county auction lists, read every night across 23 states. We hold 91,666 source records describing 56,685 sales in 437 counties.

A notice runs once a week for four weeks, and a parcel with more than one tax certificate gets a notice for each. Direct records use the case or auction lot to identify a sale; older notices use the parcel as a fallback. Repeat records are merged and their source links retained, so the counts are sales, not printings.

Pro is $49 a month after a 3-day free trial: the full record on every sale in every state, with every source notice behind it, alerts the morning after a notice is loaded, sorting by opening bid, CSV export and the data API. A Starter plan ($15 a week, the same records without export) and a high-volume Business plan ($99) are also available; CSV export and the data API come with Pro and Business, from the first payment. Every page's counts, and the parcel, address and date of its soonest five sales, stay public without an account.

Yes. The owner can redeem the certificate up to the sale and cancel it, and the clerk can reschedule or withdraw it after the notice is published. Confirm the current status with the clerk before bidding.
