HOA Back Fees

[Darcy Korringa]

We're getting conflicting info when trying to look into this issue.

If we buy a property through a tax deed sale (not lien, but deed) are we, as the new owners, responsible for unpaid HOA or condo association dues?

We're specifically working in the Orange, Lake, Osceola, and Seminole county areas of Florida.

Yes, there's much confusion out there on this one. No, in a tax deed auction they do not survive, even though the HOA attorneys will try to tell you they do. In a mortgage foreclosure, yes they survive.
