Selling a house in Pasco County? We buy as-is, for cash.

1. November–March 31. Bills carry a 4% discount in November, 3% in December, 2% in January and 1% in February; the full amount is due by March 31. (Pasco Tax Collector)
2. April 1 — delinquent. A 3% late penalty is added, then advertising charges. Florida law requires the delinquent taxes to be advertised once a week for three weeks.
3. By June 1 — tax certificate. The Tax Collector sells a tax certificate — a lien, not the house — online at LienHub. Investors bid the interest rate down from 18%. Certificates aren’t sold on homestead parcels with less than $250 in tax.
4. Two years later — tax deed application. After two years from April 1 of the year the certificate was issued, the holder can file a tax deed application. Before that, delinquent years can be paid one year at a time; once an application is filed, all delinquent and current taxes, plus costs and penalties, must be paid.
5. Tax deed sale. The Clerk of the Circuit Court sets and advertises the sale date. On a property on the latest roll as homestead, the opening bid must include one-half of the assessed value.
6. Seven years. The statute of limitation on a tax certificate is seven years from the date it was issued.

• Same circuit as Pinellas. Pasco and Pinellas share Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit, and probate cases are heard in Circuit Court. (jud6.org)
• West Pasco Judicial Center, 7530 Little Road, New Port Richey, handles civil, criminal, family, probate and traffic cases. The Robert D. Sumner Judicial Center, 38053 Live Oak Avenue, Dade City, is the main East Pasco courthouse. The Clerk has offices in both (Suite 106 in New Port Richey, Suite 205 in Dade City).
• Who can sign. Usually the estate’s personal representative; whether the court must approve the sale depends on whether the will gives the personal representative a power of sale. Our probate selling guide walks through Florida Statutes 733.613.
• Check the record. The Pasco County Property Appraiser shows ownership “based on the instruments recorded by the Clerk,” and a sale usually appears two to six weeks after closing.

• As-is. No repairs, cleanout or showings — including houses with code cases, unpermitted work or storm damage.
• No commission, no fees to us. We pay the normal seller closing costs. Back taxes, liens and loans are paid from the proceeds at closing through a licensed Florida title company.
• Fast, or on your date. AL calls you himself, usually the same day. You get a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours of the walkthrough, and close in 7–21 days or on the date you pick.
• Not an agent. We’re not real estate agents or brokers: Tampete Homes LLC buys for its own account.
