If a tax certificate is redeemed, the buyer will receive the return of the original investment, plus interest at the rate that was bid.  If the tax certificate is not redeemed, the law provides that a certificate holder may apply for a Tax Deed Sale, at a cost, two years after the date of delinquency (April 1^st).

If a certificate is not redeemed, and a tax deed has not been applied for, the certificate will be cancelled seven years from the date of issuance.

Should you have questions or need additional information in this regard, please call (850) 892-8121 and ask for the Tax Department.
