Hello,

I am looking at bidding at a tax deed sale coming up and when scanning the county’s records, I found a child support order from 1998 on one of the owners of the property. There is a payoff amount of over $100k. I’m not sure if there was a lien placed on the subject property, but my question is would this survive the tax deed sale? I only find an order to pay for child support on the county records. No lien. I’m getting conflicting answers online. But, if there is one then I read that it wouldn’t last since it’s been over 20 years. I am also reading that only real property can have a lien placed on it for child support, such as boats, cars, mobile homes, etc. and it excludes real estate. I read that in the Florida department of revenue site. Thanks for any input!
