That is the kind of thing that is very local. No one is going to be able to answer your question unless they are familiar with your specific community. Your best bet is to consult a local real estate attorney.

You should have at least 2 years from the date that the taxes became delinquent to pay the taxes and stop the sale of the property at auction.

You can redeem your property by paying the delinquent taxes anytime up to the time of the auction, before the sale at auction is finalized, or you can bid on the property at the auction yourself (which includes a lot of extra costs and will be more expensive than paying the delinquent taxes now).

There was more to the original post when I responded. For some reason the OP removed some of it. What the OP asked was how to stop the already scheduled sale without paying the tax.

That’s the title of the thread.

Nothing has been added or removed since he first posted.

Once the sale is scheduled, all the tax collector wants to see is money. There typically isn't anything that you can do to stop or forestall the sale other than paying the taxes and related fees to the tax collector or filing for bankruptcy, and even bankruptcy might not buy you a whole lot of time. You'd definitely want to see a bankruptcy attorney about that before filing a bankruptcy petition since real estate taxes always have first priority claim on the property and the lien created by the tax does not get removed by the bankruptcy. So to keep the property you'll have to pay the taxes owed and costs that have accumulated on the debt. Which means that all the bankruptcy could do for you is buy you a little time while the tax collector moves to lift the automatic stay in the bankruptcy so it may proceed with the sale. The cost of that to you, in addition to additional attorney's fees and court costs and more owed to the tax collector to pay is a huge hit to your credit rating. If you don't care about keeping the property, you might try to arrange a sale of the property before the tax sale with part of the sales proceeds going to pay off the tax owed. If what you owed in tax, mortgage loan, and any other liens is more than its worth, no one will want to buy it at a private sale; they wait and bid on it at the tax sale instead. In that case, it'd not be worth spending even more money trying to keep a property that is worth less than what you need to pay everyone to own it free and clear. Instead, you'd want to plan on how to get out of this with the least cost to you and accept that losing the property is going to be part of the deal.

This probably has less to do with means as much as it does “tax is theft”

Juntjoo created that ^^^ thread in September of 2022 ... which could mean that the two year waiting time after issuance of a tax certificate is approaching rapidly and the holder of a tax certificate can then file the certificate and apply for a tax deed.

If juntjoo wants to save his house, he would be smart to seek assistance from a Florida attorney. His objections to the government imposing taxes is not going to keep him in his house. Paying the delinquent taxes “like a good servant of the devil” will.

I think that chapter is in the unabridged version.
