Parcels — ranked by assessed value over opening bid

No parcels published yet

The county has announced 9 parcels for this sale, but the parcel list itself has not been fetched yet — so there is nothing to rank here. Counties often publish it only days before the sale. Check back closer to Sep 2, 2026.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Florida assesses at just value, but Save Our Homes / Amendment 1 caps compress assessed below market on long-held homesteads. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
