Site & surroundings

Physical conditions that affect value and rarely appear on a listing.

FEMA flood zone VE — special flood hazard area
1% annual chance coastal flood with wave action and a published base flood elevation. Flood insurance will be required for a federally backed mortgage, which is a permanent cost on any resale and can exceed the payment on a low-value parcel. Base flood elevation 15 ft — compare it to the parcel's own elevation.

Context

12% of homes vacant year-round in Census Tract 7239
377 of 3,275 units vacant year-round, around or below the national tract average. A further 1,377 unit(s) are vacant seasonally — second homes rather than distress — so a headline vacancy rate quoted elsewhere for this tract will read 54%.
Tract median home value $316,400
Self-reported median across the whole tract — context for whether a number is plausible, not a comparable and never a bid input.
Median household income $71,970
Tract median household income. Sets what a local buyer can finance.
Elevation 4 ft
Ground elevation at the parcel. Compare with the FEMA base flood elevation where one is published.

Liens that survive

As-is tax deed subject to statutory redemption (homestead/ag ~2 years; other ~180 days from deed recording). Federal tax liens survive. HOA and unjoined liens may remain. Post-judgment tax years often due beyond judgment amount. Execution sales follow different lien rules than tax sales.

Quiet title

Title companies typically require quiet title after redemption expires before insuring free-and-clear marketable title.

Verify before you bid

This record was compiled from the published sale list. Parcels are pulled, redeemed, and re-priced up to the moment of sale. Confirm the lot is still in the sale, and confirm the opening bid, directly with the county.

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

25%

You'd receive

Window

730 days

A 25% flat penalty applies if the owner redeems. It is a penalty, not annual interest — the rate does not change with how early they redeem.

homestead and agricultural-use property (2 years); all other property is 180 days

Quoted elsewhere as 51% annualised — true only if they redeem on the last possible day and you immediately redeploy the capital. Treat the flat penalty as the real number.

Before you bid

Rehab is assumed to be $0. You cannot inspect these properties before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition.
Surviving liens assumed $0. The 180-day vs 2-year window turns on the property's use at the time of sale, which the sale list does not state — treat any homestead-looking residential parcel as potentially 2-year.
Costs exceed what the property can support at your target margin. There is no bid at which this clears.
