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 refuses to take possession of the property, 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.
The LOLA is available in the Clerk’s Office and posted on the Clerk of Court website. DixieClerk.com
