What Are Lands Available for Taxes?
Thank you for expressing an interest in our list of lands available for taxes, “LOLA.”
When a property is not bid on at the tax deed auction and/or the applicant fails to make timely payment of the cost due, the land will be entered on the List of Lands Available for Taxes. Due notice of the availability of the land for purchase from the List of Lands is given according to law. The Dixie County Board of County Commissioners has the option to purchase the land during the 90-day period following the placement of said land on the List of Lands. If not purchased by the Board of County Commissioners, the land situated in Dixie County, Florida, is now available for purchase by the public from the Clerk of the Circuit Court. If the property remains on the LOLA for three (3) years, it will be escheated to the county.
Purchasing a Property
It is always in your best interest to do your due diligence regarding this process, and on the properties listed for sale, prior to purchase.
If a property has been redeemed, prior to sale from the LOLA, the property will be removed from the List of Lands, and the current owner of record retains ownership of said property.
When a property is sold, the property will be removed from the List of Lands. The purchaser will provide information for the new deed. The purchaser will make payment in full to the Clerk of Court with a Certified/Cashier’s Check at the time of purchase. The purchase is receipted, and the tax deed is typed and recorded. The new owner of the property will receive the purchase receipt and the recorded deed, to the address they have specified, through the mail.
