Florida Tax Deed, Attorney says no title insurance for 5 years.

[Dana Whicker]

I purchased a parcel in Nassau County, Florida at a tax deed auction a few months ago. Just to be clear, I understand the difference between a tax lien and a tax deed. I got a tax deed via an auction on the courthouse steps and if you check the public records any way you like I am the owner of the property.

Today I had a RE attorney that also does title and closings tell me that no one not get the parcel insured via title insurance for 5 years unless I do a Quiet Title Action. That through me for a loop. I thought I had done my research and I didn't think that applied in FL.

Can someone set me straight here?

yes that is true to my knowledge
