Learn me something about this tax bill in Broward County Florida
This tax bill is at least twice the amount for all other (30 or so) properties I have been evaluating.
Is there something to see between the lines?
Here is the tax bill:

Here is the listing:

Furthermore, it is the only tax bill I've looked at that has these very heavy yearly increases.
21% increase from 2012 to 2013 but when there is no cert, the tax increase is minimal like from 2013 to 2014 it only went up less than 1%.
It also has these early certificate issued, certificate redeemed.
For example, in 2014 the cert read $6353 but then $6677 was actually paid.
What are those and are those why are they causing the tax bill to rise at an alarming rate?

Apparently, you don't realize what a "certificate" is? When someone doesn't pay their taxes by June of the next year, a certificate is sold to pay those taxes. When the certificate is "redeemed" (paid back by the owner) there is interest and a bunch fees added to it.
