The high bidder pays a nonrefundable deposit of 5% of the bid or $200, whichever is greater, and must pay the full bid plus documentary stamp tax and recording fees within 24 hours, not counting weekends and legal holidays. If the winner doesn't pay, the deposit goes toward the costs of a new sale, which the clerk re-advertises.
Where does HomeBadger's Polk County auction data come from?
HomeBadger collects every Polk County sale nightly from the clerk's official auction calendar, and adds property facts and values from the Florida Department of Revenue tax roll and RentCast. Sales can be postponed or cancelled up to the sale day, so confirm with the Polk County Clerk of Court before bidding.
