Where we buy in Tampa

BIMINIO buys houses in ten Tampa areas by name: East Tampa, Seminole Heights, Sulphur Springs, the University area, Temple Terrace, Carrollwood, Town 'n' Country, Brandon, Riverview and New Tampa. We also buy building lots anywhere in Hillsborough County.

Tampa is our main market, and our Florida phone line is a Tampa number: (813) 729-8998. Call or text it, or fill out the form.

Some of these areas sit inside the City of Tampa. Temple Terrace is a separate city with its own city hall. Homes outside any city's limits fall under Hillsborough County. The line matters because it decides which office handles code cases and building permits for your house. Your record at the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser shows which side of the line you are on.

A page for each Tampa area

Each of the ten areas has its own page. It names the office that handles code cases there, which can be the City of Tampa, the City of Temple Terrace or Hillsborough County, and it gives the local history and numbers with their sources.

What we buy

Every property we buy comes with its own land. That means single-family houses, small apartment buildings of two to four units, and building lots.

  • Single-family houses in any condition, from move-in ready to fire or water damaged
  • Duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes, with or without tenants
  • Building lots in Hillsborough County
  • Inherited houses, including houses still in probate
  • Houses with code cases, liens or open permits
  • Houses behind on the mortgage or in foreclosure

Condos, townhouses and 55+ homes

Condos, villas, townhouses, mobile homes and homes in age-restricted communities (55+ and similar) fall outside what we buy. If you are not sure what kind of property you own, call us and we will tell you on the first call.

How a sale works, step by step

The three steps above apply in Tampa as in every city we serve. The guides below explain the offer and the closing in full. For a Tampa sale, the title company settles this year's unpaid property taxes at closing, from the sale.

Hillsborough County offices you may deal with

Selling a house in Tampa can mean dealing with three county offices and one city office. Here is what each one does for a seller.

OfficeWhat it does for you
Hillsborough County Property AppraiserYour property record: search by folio number, owner name or address. You also file for the homestead exemption here.
Hillsborough County Tax CollectorYour property tax bill. Florida collects taxes after the year ends, so the November 2026 bill is for tax year 2026.
Hillsborough County Clerk of CourtCourt cases, including foreclosure. Foreclosure sales are held online every weekday at 10:00 a.m.
City of Tampa, Neighborhood EnhancementCode cases inside Tampa city limits: overgrown yards, broken-down cars, building upkeep, signs and other nuisances.

If your Tampa house has code fines

The City of Tampa's Neighborhood Enhancement division enforces chapters 19 and 27 of the City Code. When a code board orders a repair and the deadline passes, a daily fine can build up and become a lien on the house.

Tampa has a written policy for settling those fines, Executive Order 2022-16. It applies once the violation is fixed and a city inspector signs an affidavit of compliance. The settlement amount depends on how long after the compliance deadline the problem was fixed, and on whether the house has a homestead exemption.

Money the city spent to fix the problem itself is not part of the settlement. It must be paid in full before the city releases the lien. The order also lets the city's Legal Department move away from the guideline amounts, so treat the table as a starting point and ask the city for your figure.

Fixed within this time of the deadlineSettlement: homestead / other
Within 1 year$250 / $500
1 to 2 years$500 / $1,000
2 to 3 years$1,000 / $3,000
3 to 4 years$1,000 / $4,000
After 4 years$1,000 / $5,000

If the house is in foreclosure

Florida foreclosures go through the court. In Hillsborough County, when a judge orders a sale, the Clerk holds it online. Sales run every weekday at 10:00 a.m.

Florida Statutes section 45.0315 lets you stop the sale by paying what the judgment says, up to the later of two moments: the clerk filing the certificate of sale, or the time set in the judgment. A sale of the house before that date can raise the money.

If the auction brings in more than the judgment and costs, the extra is called surplus. The Clerk's page says the owner of record at the time the foreclosure notice (the lis pendens) was recorded may file a claim for it.

Earlier in the process there is more time. A federal rule, 12 CFR 1024.41(f), says the company that collects your mortgage may not start foreclosure until the loan is more than 120 days behind, with some exceptions.

Inherited a house in Tampa

Probate is the court process that decides who owns an inherited house and who can sign the deed. Florida Statutes section 735.201 allows a shorter process, called summary administration, when the estate in Florida, less property that creditors cannot reach, is worth $150,000 or less, or when the owner died more than 2 years ago. The limit was $75,000 before 2026, so check the date on anything you read.

We buy inherited houses in the condition they are in, including houses full of belongings. You can call us and get an offer while probate is still open, and set the closing date once the person who can sign the deed is known. A probate lawyer can tell you which process fits your family.

Flood and storm questions

Florida Statutes section 689.302 says the seller of a home must give the buyer a flood disclosure form at or before the time the sales contract is signed. The form asks three things about the time you owned the house: did flooding damage it, did you file a flood insurance claim, and did you get flood help such as FEMA aid.

Answer it honestly, even when you sell as is. You can still sell to BIMINIO after a yes answer: we price the house with the damage in mind, and you skip the repairs.

Property taxes and your homestead

If you live in the house and have the homestead exemption, Florida limits how fast its assessed value can rise: each year by no more than 3 percent or the change in the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower (section 193.155).

That limit stays with you as the owner. After a sale, section 193.155(3) says the house is assessed at full value as of January 1 of the next year. The buyer's tax bill can be higher than yours. Your own share of this year's taxes is settled at closing.

Florida rules worth knowing before you sell

    Property taxes due

    Florida property taxes are due on November 1 each year. They become delinquent on April 1 of the next year, or 60 days after the tax notice is mailed if that is later.

    Florida Statutes, section 197.162 ↗

  • 70¢

    Deed tax for each $100

Selling in Tampa: questions

Which parts of Tampa do you buy in?

BIMINIO buys houses in ten Tampa areas by name: East Tampa, Seminole Heights, Sulphur Springs, the University area, Temple Terrace, Carrollwood, Town 'n' Country, Brandon, Riverview and New Tampa. We also buy building lots anywhere in Hillsborough County. Call (813) 729-8998 or fill out the form with your address, and a real person calls you back.

Do you buy lots as well as houses in Tampa?

Yes. BIMINIO buys building lots anywhere in Hillsborough County as well as houses in the ten Tampa areas we name. A cash offer is below full market value. You get a written cash offer within 24 hours, we pay the closing costs, and you pick a closing date from 7 to 35 days out.

Can I sell my Tampa house with code fines on it?

Yes. BIMINIO buys Tampa houses with code fines as is. The title company finds the liens, and they are paid from the sale at closing. If the violation is fixed first, the City of Tampa's Executive Order 2022-16 sets guideline amounts for settling the fines. BIMINIO gives no legal advice, so ask the City about your case.

My house is in foreclosure in Hillsborough County. Is it too late?

Not always. Florida law lets you pay the judgment and stop the sale up to the clerk filing the certificate of sale, or the time set in the judgment if that is later. Call us as early as you can, because the title company needs days to close.

Where are Hillsborough County foreclosure sales held?

Hillsborough County foreclosure sales are held online, through the Clerk of Court. Sales run every weekday at 10:00 a.m. If your house has a sale date, call BIMINIO and we will send a written cash offer within 24 hours, with a closing date you pick from 7 to 35 days out.

Do I need to fill in the Florida flood form if I sell as is?

Yes. Florida Statutes section 689.302 asks the seller of a home to give the buyer the flood disclosure form at or before the contract is signed. Selling as is does not change that. BIMINIO gives no legal advice, so ask a lawyer if you have questions about the form.

Will my buyer keep my low homestead tax value?

No. Florida Statutes section 193.155(3) says the house is assessed at full value as of January 1 after a change of owner, so the buyer's tax bill can be higher than yours. Your own share of this year's taxes is settled at closing. BIMINIO gives no legal or tax advice.

Which Hillsborough County office do I ask about my property tax bill?

The Hillsborough County Tax Collector sends your property tax bill. Florida collects taxes after the year ends, so the November 2026 bill is for tax year 2026. The Hillsborough County Property Appraiser holds your property record and takes homestead exemption filings. Unpaid taxes for the current year are settled at closing by the title company, from the sale.
