WelcomeWelcome to the Hardee County Tax Collectors On-Line Tax Sale Web Site. The Tax Collector will be auctioning off the 2009 Tax Certificates this year via an Internet On-Line Tax Sale, pursuant to Florida Statute 197.432, subsection (16) which authorizes tax certificates to be sold by electronic means.

Getting Started
Before you can access this web site, you must first Sign Up (create a Web Account). You must create a NEW Web Account each year. Once you have a Web Account, you must Log In and complete the required Registration tasks for each county. These registration procedures must be performed before you will be assigned an official Bidder Number, which entitles you to gain access to the Bidding web site where you’ll place your bids.

To get started:
1) Click on Sign Up to create your Web Account.
2) After your account is created, Log In into your new account and begin performing the Registration tasks.

Once you are registered, you will be ready to place your bids once bidding starts
(see Tax Sale Important Dates below for the start date for this county).

Practice Site
To help you learn how to use this system, we have created a Practice site that you can use to see how the site works. Click here to use the Practice Site. The practice site works just like the live site. You will need to Register and await your “practice” bidder number. Once your practice account has been setup, you can sign in using it and practice placing bids, etc. Remember, whatever bids you place on the Practice site is for practice only (not real).

On-Line Training Opportunities
