A separate clerk-run auction of property with unpaid taxes under Chapter 197, Florida Statutes. Different rules, same need for title work.

Unlike a foreclosure auction, a tax deed sale has a statutory opening bid, and it clears most private liens including mortgages. The title that results is usually harder to insure for several years.
