My property that my father left me is behind and Taxes. I’m looking for some assistance to me

Contact your county tax assessor's office and ask about payment plans. Most counties will let you pay back taxes over time instead of all at once. You might also qualify for tax relief programs depending on your income or situation. Ask the assessor if there are any hardship programs or exemptions available. If the amount is really high and you can't afford it, you could consider selling the property to pay off the taxes. Some investors buy properties with tax liens, but you'll get less money that way. Another option is to take out a loan against the property to pay the taxes, but only do that if you can afford the loan payments. Start with the county and see what options they offer. Don't ignore it - if you let it go too long, they can foreclose and you'll lose the property entirely.

Yes, you would need to pay the back taxes to prevent foreclosure. Contact your local tax office and they can give you the exact amount due and then work on a payment plan with you. Best of luck with bringing the property current! Keith Jean-Pierre Managing Principal The Dapper Agents Operations In: NY, NJ, FL & CA

Since you are in Florida, you may qualify for the 2026 Homestead Property Tax Relief Program, which provides up to $1,000 in direct assistance for eligible homesteaders. Additionally, many Florida counties have an "Heirs Relief Program" specifically for people who inherited property and are facing tax liens or penalties due to a deceased parent's status. Contact your County Property Appraiser immediately; they can often waive late penalties or set up a payment plan to prevent a tax deed sale while you work through the probate process.
