Bank Foreclosure sale with surplus to pay for property taxes

[Silvana Elejalde]

Hello, if anyone has had any experience in Broward County, Florida, winning a bank foreclosure paying over the final judgment amount, and getting the Clerk of Courts to disburse funds from Court Registry to cover delinquent property taxes, I would like to hear from you, what steps to take, forms to fill out, etc.

In my particular case, the auction took place January 5th 2017, I got Certificate of Title January 19th 2017. The court issued a certificate of disbursement on January 20th. The surplus currently available at court  registry can easily cover delinquent property taxes. I already approached Revenue Office at Broward Tax Collector, they said they cannot and have never started this type of process with the court. As a matter of fact, they said they've had other auction winners do the paper work direct with the clerk of courts and they eventually get a check issued by the clerk out to Broward County Tax Collector. My problem is that I went to Clerk of Courts office and the rep that I talked to said that I cannot initiate the motion/claim as the third party winner, not even asking for the check to be made out to Tax Collector. So, the information I'm getting from Tax Collector rep and from Clerk of Courts rep is conflicting.

Any tips?
