Florida Tax Deed Pipeline — Not Yet Ingested
A Florida tax certificate can end in a tax deed. After two years from April 1 of the certificate year, the holder may apply for one, the clerk advertises and sells, and unsold parcels are struck to the county as lands available. Florida Tax Certs indexes the front of that pipeline in depth: 1,267,795 tax certificates across 42 of Florida's 67 counties, the official certificate-sale directory for all 67, and 9.25 million parcels for owner and valuation context. The back of the pipeline is not yet ingested. Tax deed application and lands-available records hold zero rows today, clerk sale results are not ingested, and redemption tracking is in development. Start with the certificate data; the tax-deed endpoints return a stable schema with an empty result set, so you can build against them before the volume lands.
