Florida Statute 197.122 states that all owners of property are charged with the duty of knowing the amount of taxes due and paying them before the delinquency date. This means that failure to receive a tax bill will not relieve anyone from paying taxes or subsequent penalties which occur on April 1 when taxes become delinquent. Florida Statutes require the Tax Collector to conduct a sale of tax certificates beginning on or before June 1 for the preceding year of delinquent real estate taxes.
