12D-13.0625. Priority for Fee Owners of Subsurface Rights

When a tax certificate on subsurface rights is purchased by the fee owner and an application for a tax deed is started under section 197.502, F.S., the fee owner is in the same position as other bidders at the clerk’s sale. Priority extends only to the purchase of a tax certificate by the fee owner and does not extend to the purchase of any tax deed.
