Taylor County Property Records

What Makes Taylor County Property Records Unique

Taylor County sits along the Big Bend Gulf Coast and is dominated by timber industry land holdings. Property records involve large timber company parcels, Steinhatchee fishing community waterfront properties, and rural agricultural land. Because the timber industry owns significant acreage, some parcels have complex corporate ownership chains.

Common Liens Found in Taylor County Property Records

When you order a Taylor County lien search, our researchers check for every type of recorded lien that could affect the property. Because Florida law allows many different types of liens to attach to real property, a thorough Taylor County lien search examines multiple categories of recorded instruments.

Property tax liens take first priority in Florida and are recorded by the Taylor County Tax Collector when property taxes become delinquent. Because Florida allows tax certificate sales on delinquent properties, buyers at auction must verify all outstanding tax certificate holders. Judgment liens attach to all real property owned by the debtor in the county where the judgment is recorded. If someone has a court judgment against the seller, that judgment automatically becomes a lien on the property. HOA and CDD assessment liens are common in Taylor County's planned communities. Because Florida grants HOA liens super-priority status for up to 12 months of unpaid assessments, these liens can take priority over even first mortgages.

Additionally, mechanic's liens arise when contractors or suppliers are not paid for work performed on the property. Because Florida's mechanic's lien law gives contractors 90 days to file a claim of lien after completing work, recent construction or renovation projects may have lien exposure. Only a professional search identifies. Federal tax liens from the IRS and state tax warrants from the Florida Department of Revenue also attach to real property and must be identified before closing.

Our Property Lien Report ($95) identifies all recorded liens against the Taylor County property. For a search that also includes personal liens against the owner (covering judgment liens recorded in the owner's name), order the Full Owner Lien Report ($195).
