Broward County tax sales & property search
The county's own sites for looking up a property, checking taxes, and finding upcoming tax sales:
- Property search: Broward County Property Appraiser search
- Tax office: Broward County Tax Collector
- Tax sales: Broward County Records, Taxes & Treasury (tax deeds)
In Florida, unpaid property taxes become tax certificates, which the county tax collector auctions once a year, before June 1. If a certificate stays unpaid for two years, its holder can apply for a tax deed, and the clerk of court then auctions the property — most Florida counties hold these auctions online. Land that gets no bid goes on the county's "lands available for taxes" list.
Many investors skip the auction and write to owners directly. Build a Broward County owner list.
