  Florida tax lien certificates have a redemption period of 2 years. What date did you buy them? You should have done certain paperwork by now.
  
  If you have missed the boat, try contacting the owners and other lien holders on record and see if they will pay you directly for the taxes due. Otherwise, you may lose your investment.
  
  Best to contact an attorney that does tax deed work in the county. If you are not sure how to find such attorneys, go the circuit clerk and ask for the type of cases, then look at the files and get the names/addresses/phone# of attorneys that filed such cases.
  
  Or just get the attorney directory and start calling /asking around till you get a hit.
  
  Good luck!

  Very poor advice, since it is illegal in Florida for a certificate holder to contact a property owner in any way. Your investment is fine, you have up to 7 years to foreclose on a property owner.

  Did not realize it was illegal to contact owners in FL. Did not realize you can foreclose after the period of redemption has expired. What is the purpose of having a period of redemption then?
  I stand by my advice to contact a local tax deed lawyer.

  In Texas, taxes are paid after the year is over. So I just paid 2013 taxes a few months ago.

  commercialking,
  
  What does over-assessed have to do with taxes being paid in arrears?
  
  Can you share your strategy perhaps?
