Tax Deed Auction Transition Update
Broward County Tax Deed Auctions are transitioning to our new online auction platform with RealAuction. We are nearing completion of the transition and anticipate resuming tax deed auctions soon. As we prepare to restart the auction schedule, please note the following updates:
- New Registration Required: A registration link will be added to this page soon, allowing bidders to create an account and register with our new auction vendor, RealAuction. Existing RealAuction users do not need to register again, as RealAuction accounts work across all RealAuction auction platforms.
- System Setup: The software configuration and testing are in the final stages as we prepare the platform for bidder registration and upcoming auctions.
- Upcoming Auction Information: Details regarding bidder registration and future auction dates will be posted soon.
Please continue to check this page for the latest updates and announcements regarding the resumption of Broward County Tax Deed Auctions.
Legal Notices - Tax Deed Auctions
Pursuant to Section 50.0311, Florida Statutes, advertisements and legal notices required for Tax Deed Auctions will be published and available on the County's designated
publicly accessible legal notices website.
Recording Notification Service
The Recording Notification Service (RNS) is a free service offered by the Broward County Recording Office that alerts residents via email when property conveyance or encumbrance documents are recorded. To learn more, visit our
RNS website.
Electronically Certified Documents Now Available Online
Customers may now purchase electronically certified documents online through the Official Records Search website for records dating from 1978 to the present. This convenient new service uses advanced encryption technology to generate secure, tamper-proof electronically certified copies of most official records within minutes, eliminating the need to visit Broward County’s Governmental Center. Once the online purchase is complete, customers will receive an email with the certified PDF document attached.
The amount of time it takes to deliver the document(s) may vary depending on the customer’s email server. If the electronically certified document(s) does not arrive within a few minutes, customers should check their spam or junk email folders.
Customers may still obtain certified documents in person at the Broward County Governmental Center, 115 S. Andrews Avenue, Room 114, in downtown Fort Lauderdale, during normal business hours. For more information, please call 954-357-6716.
Consumer Alerts: Important Information for Residents
Some Broward County homeowners are receiving letters from private companies selling them certified copies of their deeds at premium prices. County residents are also receiving similar unofficial home warranty service advertisements via postcards. These companies are not affiliated with Broward County nor does the County provide home warranty services. The Records, Taxes and Treasury Division provides County property owners official documents at little or no cost. Save money
