How can I find out if there are any liens or encumbrances on a property coming up for tax deed sale?
An ownership and encumbrance report is provided in the file maintained on each property to be sold at a tax deed sale. The Tax Deed Files are kept in the office of the Tax Deed Clerk located in the Finance Department of the Bank of America, Suite 450, 315 S. Calhoun Street, Tallahassee, FL 32302. This Department is open to the Public from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Anyone may take notes from these files or the Tax Deed Clerk will make a copy for a fee. As a courtesy, the Clerk posts on the webpage information on the properties for sale for county taxes. Upcoming Tax Deed Sales lists and the List of Lands Available are available on the Clerks website at www.clerk.leon.fl.us. The files can be viewed via the webpage by clicking here. Then click the magnifying glass by each parcel to retrieve specific information regarding that parcel. The Clerks office assumes no responsibility for any inaccuracy contained in the files, or posted to the website for upcoming sales or lands
