Sale of a tax certificate by the Tax Collector's office, through competitive bidding at an auction, results in a lien on the real estate property. It is not a purchase of the property.
Interest is paid at the rate of the lowest bid.
All tax certificates must be redeemed in certified funds in U.S. dollars. Failure by the property owner to redeem the certificate within the 22-month period prescribed by law can result in the loss of the property at a Tax Deed Sale.
