In August 2021, Gulf County began using the RealAuction platform for its Tax Deed sales, allowing bidders to enjoy the convenience of bidding remotely.

To prepare our customers for this transition, RealAuction typically provides weekly bidder training webinars for Florida.

Bidders who register on the RealAuction website will be able to see upcoming sales, place bids, and monitor auctions and their own bidder accounts. Funds for deposits and winning bids can be paid by cash, certified check/money order, or electronically by wire transfer. The DEADLINE to make a deposit is 24 hours prior to the date and time of the auction.

If you are interested in attending the online training session, please call RealAuction customer service at 1- 877-361-7325, or email customerservice@realauction.com to register for the event. Please visit the RealAuction website at https://gulf.realtaxdeed.com for FAQ and bidder registration.

The Clerk of the Circuit Court is statutorily responsible for conducting Tax Deed Sales and issuing a Tax Deed in the name of the County to the successful high bidder at a sale. Tax Deed Sales and the issuance of Tax Deeds are governed by Chapter 197, Florida Statutes.

The procedure involves a Tax Certificate Holder applying for a Tax Deed through the Tax Collector. (Tax Certificates are sold to collect delinquent taxes).

There is no case filed in court and no court order is issued for the Clerk to conduct a Tax Deed Sale.
