A municipal or county lien of record can survive a Florida tax deed if the sale proceeds don't pay it off. I built a lookup of local code cases and I'd like to test it on a real sale list.
Send me the addresses from your next sale and I'll send back what's on file. It's free while I'm testing.
It covers the City of Orlando, the City of Tampa and unincorporated Miami-Dade. Recorded liens are included for Orlando and Miami-Dade only, because Tampa doesn't publish them.
