A tax deed application is a legal document filed by the holder of the tax certificate that initiates the process of forcing the property to be sold at public auction (tax deed sale). The holder of a tax certificate may apply for a tax deed application when (2) years or more have elapsed since April 1 of the year the certificate was issued. Application for a tax deed is made to the Tax Collector’s Office. The delinquent property owner may retain the property by redeeming the tax deed application any time before the property is sold at public auction (tax deed sale).

Tax deed sales are conducted by the Clerk & Comptroller, Palm Beach County. For more information, contact the Clerk’s Office at www.pbcountyclerk.com or (561) 355-2962.
