Free Pre-Bid Screen
Know what you're bidding on before the sale. Three questions on county records, no cost, no signup wall.
Narrow the list before you research
A county sale list can hold hundreds of lots, and researching each one yourself is where the weeks go. The screen does the narrowing first: it pulls the public record on every lot, drops the ones with a fatal flaw, and hands you the shortlist that actually deserves an hour of your time. This week's Broward sale runs 22 live lots, not 300. That's the difference between a weekend and a month.
Next confirmed sales
Dates read from each county's official RealTaxDeed auction calendar. Sale schedules move: confirm on the county portal before you bid.
Some liens survive a tax sale
The county clerk sells per F.S. 197 and cannot guarantee clear title; buyer research is the buyer's job. The quick-check screens the parcel's recorded liens of record and cites the s.197.552 caveat before you bid. Read the county cautions and the statute; nothing here is legal or title advice.

What the screen checks
- Open liens or assessments sitting on the parcel from county records
- Whether the parcel is in code-compliance trouble
- Where the auction stands on the county calendar

A tax deed clears most liens, not all. The quick-check screens what survives before you bid.
The surplus tells you how much is stacked against a property before you bid. The quick-check screens it first.
