A tax deed application is the next step after a tax certificate remains unpaid. It begins the process that may lead to a public sale of the property.

When can a tax deed application be filed?

1. A tax certificate holder may apply after 22 months from the year the certificate was issued
2. The application must be submitted before 7 years, or the certificate expires

 

How to apply

All tax deed applications must be submitted online through DeedExpress (LienHub).

Through this system, certificate holders can:

1. Estimate application costs
2. Submit certificates for tax deed processing
3. Make payments and request refunds
4. Track application status in real time
5. Receive email notifications and sign required forms electronically

 

Important to know

1. Submitting a tax deed application does not guarantee ownership of the property
2. The    Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court conducts the tax deed sale and determines the outcome after the auction
3. Additional costs and fees apply as part of the application process

 

Getting started

1. Register for an account on LienHub(DeedExpress)
2. Link your certificates to begin the application process
