Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Unpaid property tax on vacant lot.

Behind my house is a vacant lot which I have researched and found that the taxes have not been paid for some time. I am interested in buying the property and wonder if I paid the back taxes, would I gain ownership.

Not automatically. You should go speak to your local tax assessor for their requirements.

Tax sales area matter of statute and local proceedure. I urge to go to the office of your county assessor for full details.
