Pay the deposit
If you win, the deposit (5% per property; due before auction) is due per county rules. Have your payment ready in the accepted format — typically cashier’s check or money order.

Key Notes for Volusia County Investors
All properties sold AS-IS — the Clerk makes no representation on condition, title, or surviving liens.
Tax deed opening bids reflect delinquent taxes plus fees and are typically far lower than foreclosure judgments — but research surviving government liens before bidding.
Failure to pay the balance by the stated deadline forfeits the deposit.
Always conduct a full title search — liens not extinguished by the sale may survive.
