Seminole County Sheriff Sales

All foreclosed properties are sold “AS IS” and may be occupied. Prior to bidding, research the property’s records for outstanding liens and taxes that may not be satisfied by the foreclosure auction.

The sale of foreclosed properties is open to the public and anyone may bid, with the exception of Seminole County Sheriff’s employees as they are prohibited. All bidders will be required to provide their name and phone number. The properties are listed in the order presented on the Auction Sales List.

Bidding for each property will open at no less than 2/3 (two-thirds) of the property’s appraised value. Successful bidders are required to provide a cashier’s check made out to the Seminole County Court Clerk’s Office for exactly 10% (ten percent) of the winning bid price.

The remaining 90% (ninety percent) of the sale price is payable at the Seminole County Court Clerk’s office prior to the confirmation hearing; approximately 30 to 45 days after the sale date.

There is no viewing or access given to the property prior to the Sheriff's Sale. Note that appraisers have the same access to the property as the general public and are not given additional access to the property.

If there are tenants still living in the residence, it is the responsibility of the new owner to start the eviction process.

Please take the time to research the property you are interested in prior to placing a bid.

When a successful bidder fails to comply with the above legal mandate, the next highest bidder may be given the opportunity to complete the sale, under the same conditions listed above. For additional Information on a property contact the attorney representing the plaintiff.
