How much do they cost?
The cost includes:
- Certificate face value
- Accrued interest
- $6.25 processing fee
Are there purchase restrictions?
Yes. Certificates on properties with homestead exemption and taxes less than $250 cannot be purchased until the face value plus accrued interest exceed $250.
