Nassau County tax-delinquent property

Taxes are collected on the same statutory calendar as every other Florida county — delinquent April 1, certificates sold on or before June 1. We cover that cycle, and why this is a different lead from pre-foreclosure, here. What is not the same in every county is the property behind the delinquency, and how Nassau runs its sale.

What the delinquent roll in Nassau County is made of

Nassau is two counties in one. Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island on the coast are high-value, long-held and heavily second-home; Yulee and the west side near Callahan and Hilliard are Jacksonville-commuter and rural.

The property behind it

Island and near-island homes and condominiums on Amelia Island, newer subdivision housing in Yulee, and older homes and rural acreage across Callahan, Hilliard and the west of the county.

How Nassau County runs its certificate sale

Nassau advertises its delinquent parcels in a local newspaper once a week for three consecutive weeks and runs the certificate sale online through LienHub on or before June 1, bidding down from 18 percent. The Tax Collector states that a certificate holder may apply for a tax deed once two or more years have elapsed since the date of delinquency, and a small number of rows here already carry a tax deed application date.

What to do differently here

Split the island from the mainland. An Amelia Island parcel carries island insurance, island values and often a seasonal owner, and a Callahan parcel carries none of those. The same script will not work on both, and the few rows with a deed application date are the ones where the owner has the least time and the most reason to talk.
