The Real Estate Department for the Duval County Tax Collector is implementing
a new procedure for certificate holders that are filing tax deed applications.
Effective immediately, certificate holders will do their own research for
delinquent taxes. This information is provided on the Internet at address
http://www.coj.net/tc. This will show how many tax certificates are outstanding, the
certificate holder's name and the amount due. The web site will also show if
the property is homesteaded or not. Certificate holders may apply on 50
properties per TIN/SSN at one time. Once the certificate holder decides which
certificates are going to be applied on you can start here, to fill in certificate/real estate numbers to get the amount
to apply for tax deed. The list, certified check, and all applications must
be received in our office by the 1st of the month. If received after the
1st of the month the figures and certified check will have to be
resubmitted for the following month. Each application must be complete with
the legal description, no exception. If the certificate holder does not have
the complete legal for each property a listing of all certificates can be
purchased at the cost of $5.00 per TIN/SSN. This list will provide the legal
for each certificate. Homestead properties must be listed on a separate sheet
than properties that are not homesteaded. Properties that are homesteaded
should not be included in the 50 properties that are being applied on.
Thank You,
Duval County Tax Department.
