Florida Tax Certificate API

Florida Certificate Holder Search — Not Yet Ingested

Holder search ranks across holder/fund name, certificate number, county, and parcel, aimed at certificate-holder due diligence, portfolio tracking, and competitive research. Be clear on what is live: the holder index itself holds zero records today, because holder of record is published inconsistently across vendor portals and is onboarded county-by-county. The endpoint returns a stable schema and an empty result set flagged not_yet_ingested. What is live in volume is the certificate layer underneath it: 1,267,795 tax certificates across 42 of Florida's 67 counties, the official certificate-sale directory for all 67, and 9.25 million linked parcels. Build against the holder endpoint now and the schema stays stable as coverage fills in.
