Florida Tax Certificates

[Dustin Wimbish]

I purchase a certificate on August, 18th of last year and the property is listed as having sold on the 23rd of August. I am assuming that tax certificates do not have to paid in a sale, correct? Or did something get missed? There are also multiple certificates, some held by other people. I know I can redeem my certificate and apply for the tax deed and I would have to pay their certificates off, but my question is, if the property sold, can a certificate holder contact the new owner for payment in lieu of redeeming for the tax deed?
