| County Held
Certificates: If there are no bidders for the delinquent
taxes, each applicable tax certificate is issued in the name
of Manatee County (County-Held). In addition, (1) a tax certificate
representing less than $100 in delinquent taxes on property
that has been granted homestead exemption can only be sold to
Manatee County at the maximum interest rate allowed by law (18%);
(2) when the delinquent taxes are on subsurface right, the fee
owner to which these subsurface rights are attached has the
right to purchase the tax certificate at the maximum rate of
interest allowed by law (18%) before bids are accepted for the
sale of such certificates; and (3) Parcels that have made application
and been approved for the Tax Deferred Program.
The tax certificates issued to Manatee County as a result
of the $100 homestead, the subsurface rights or deferred tax
CAN NOT be purchased by the general public. All other County-Held
certificates are available at any time to the general public.
If you are interested in purchasing any
of the remaining tax certificates (county-held), please feel free to download the
current listing available. If there are parcels you are interested
in, please contact our office by phone (941) 741-4832 or via
