How this data is made

Four steps, in this order, each after the last has finished:

1. Collect, early morning Eastern: recent newspaper notices and the selected counties’ current public records and lists are read. Repeat records are updated. Source documents from the direct county feeds are retained for replay.
2. Load: the new and changed records are written to the database.
3. Merge and count: repeated records are merged, every county and holder total is recomputed, and the publication gate is re-run.
4. Alert: saved searches with something new are emailed. Nothing new, nothing sent.

So a notice published today is on its county page, and in any matching alert, by tomorrow morning. The newest notice we hold was published November 11, 2026.

A Florida parcel going to sale is printed many times over. The notice runs once a week for four weeks; a parcel with several tax certificates gets a notice for each; a notice that arrives without a county is filed under its newspaper until a later printing names the county. Counted as printed, a county page would list most parcels two to four times.

So every count on this site is of sales, built like this:

• Direct county records use an identified case or auction lot, so separate auctions of the same parcel remain separate. Older newspaper feeds use the parcel within its county, then the certificate, deed file or individual record as a fallback.
• Official county records take precedence where matched; otherwise the newest published notice describes the sale. If it gives a later date than an earlier notice, the sale is marked rescheduled and the earlier date is kept on the record.
• A notice with no county can be placed from a recognized auction hostname. If the source and hostname cannot identify the county, the field stays blank.
• Certificate holders are grouped on the fund’s own name, stripping series years, custodians (“WSFS CF”), beneficiaries (“FBO”) and collateral assignees -- the notice’s own spelling stays on the record.

Every notice behind a sale is listed on its record with a link to the notice as published, so any merge can be checked by hand. Today that is 91,666 notices folded into 56,685 sales.

Fields come from the linked public notices, county case records and auction lists: dates become calendar dates, money becomes a number and whitespace is collapsed. A blank means the collected source does not supply that field. The direct county feeds use published opening or minimum bids. Named court parties remain separate from assessed owners.

Property details are checked separately. Where a sale prints a street address that matches one property, house number, street, unit and town or ZIP alike (or, for an address printed as a street alone, the county and the parcel number), the record adds that property’s physical details, assessments and market and rent estimates, each with the date it was retrieved. Nothing is filled in from a nearby or similar address, and a missing property detail means no verified match supplied it. These details may be incomplete or out of date, and they never change a sale’s date, bid or status.

Every county, state and certificate holder we hold notices for has a page, and every page is linked. What differs is whether we ask search engines to index it. A page is submitted once it holds eight sales upcoming or past in the last 90 days, and withdrawn only when it falls below five.

The gap is deliberate. Tax deed inventory arrives in batches -- a county can list sixty parcels for one sale day and nothing for a month -- and on a single threshold a county near the line would enter and leave the sitemap every few weeks. The verdict is stored, not recomputed per page, so the page, the sitemap and our own history agree.

• Redemptions and withdrawals. Clerk inventories and some county lists report statuses, so redeemed, removed, cancelled and postponed cases are excluded from scheduled sales. Static lists and notices do not confirm current availability. Check the county’s current record before relying on a scheduled sale.
• Uncollected records. We read selected county sources and newspaper feeds, not every county system. Notices absent from those sources may be missing. A county page shows our coverage, not a complete inventory of that county’s sales.
• Sale results. Some clerk systems supply reported case or auction results. We do not collect winning buyers or final prices. Elsewhere, a sale past its date is shown as past, not assumed to have sold.
• Upset bidding. North Carolina current bids and published deadlines are separate from opening bids and original auction dates. Deadlines can change after another bid. Multiple parcels offered together remain one bid bundle, with the bid applying to the entire bundle.
• Title. A tax deed can carry surviving liens and title defects; nothing here assesses them. The market and rent estimates in a record’s property details are estimates, not appraisals, and there is no scoring or recommendation.
• Everywhere else. Tax lien states and most deed states are on the auction calendar as events, not parcels, until we can read their parcel lists reliably.

TaxSalesFeed is not a government agency, not a clerk of court, not a tax collector, not an auction platform and not a brokerage. We are not affiliated with any county or certificate holder named here. Nothing on this site is legal, title or investment advice. Confirm every sale with the county before bidding.
