Alternative to LienHub & RealAuction — Florida Tax Certificate API
Florida Tax Certs is a developer-first alternative for accessing Florida tax certificate and delinquent-tax records. Instead of juggling logins across LienHub, RealAuction, TaxCertSale, WFBS, and Pacific Blue, Florida Tax Certs normalizes the fragmented public county and vendor data into one REST API, CSV exports, alerts, and a public web search funnel: 1,267,795 tax certificates at certificate level across 42 of Florida's 67 counties, annual certificate-sale results, the official sale directory for all 67 counties, and 9.25 million linked parcels. Certificate holder, lands-available, and tax deed application records are not yet available, and redemption tracking is on the roadmap.
