Sell your tax delinquent house in Florida
Dealing with a Florida tax delinquent house can be stressful: the amount owed grows with interest and penalties, and the deadlines are set by the county, not by you. If you own a Florida tax delinquent house, you can still sell it. Prominent Cash Offer buys Florida tax delinquent houses as-is, and the back taxes on your Florida tax delinquent house are paid from the sale at closing, so you don't have to pay them first.
When you sell your Florida tax delinquent house, the title company confirms the current balance with the county and, where state taxes are involved, the Florida Department of Revenue, then pays it from the proceeds at closing. Before you accept any offer, check the amount due and any sale dates; for free, independent help you can find a HUD-approved housing counselor (CFPB).
Start with the address. If your Florida tax delinquent house is a fit, you get a written cash offer with the amount and the terms spelled out, and no obligation to accept it. There are no fees or commissions, we pay the closing costs, and you choose the closing date.
Prominent Cash Offer buys Florida tax delinquent houses directly, with no listing. Read the full guide to selling a tax delinquent house, see how we buy houses in Florida. We buy tax delinquent houses nationwide too. For state services, start at MyFlorida.gov.
