Florida Tax Certificate API

Florida Tax Lien API for Certificate Investors

Florida Tax Certs indexes 1,267,795 Florida tax certificates at certificate level across 42 of Florida's 67 counties, plus the official certificate-sale directory for all 67 counties and 9.25 million property parcels for owner and valuation context. Screen tax liens by county, status, face amount, and interest rate without juggling LienHub, RealAuction, and TaxCertSale logins. Certificate holder, lands-available, and tax deed application records are not yet available, and redemption tracking is on the roadmap.
