Acquired Tax Deed Property in FL: ? about liens on property

I acquired a tax deed property in Winter Haven, FL in August 2017.

Before I acquired it I paid off all the taxes to bring it auction.

Both me and the county did a title search and research on the property and there were no liens and encumbrances on the property.

This past tax year, suddenly I have liens on the property.. AND there are 3 liens on the property... all of them that were from 2015.

Code enforcement "claims" that  sometimes liens don't show up until 2 yrs after the issue.

So.. my question is... do I have to pay these liens?  since I was not responsible for these issues to begin with AND they didn't show up in my and the county's due diligence.

Let me know... if there is an attorney in FL that can help me with this... that would be ideal or someone that has dealt with something

like this before.    Thank you!
