This Auburndale, FL property on Berkley Rd is zoned Commercial / Industrial. It’s 332 ft wide by 1,115 ft deep and sits north of Polk Parkway & Old Dixie Highway. The $400,100 high bid was the most expensive item sold that day. I never saw it so I never bid on it. I don’t know the market value but judging the tax assessed value is $387,000.. it sold way below market value on 3/21! I wonder what they will build there.
The lowest high bid was $800 for just over an acre of vacant land in the middle of nowhere and inaccessible. The Polk tax deed auction is online so bidders don’t have to appear in person. One downside is the auction usually lasts all day on most sale days due to the volume of properties auctioned. Polk is the fastest growing county in the state. Located between the Orlando and Tampa metro regions along the I-4 corridor, Polk is a blend of rapidly urbanizing growing communities in the northern section. Yet south of State Road 60, which crosses through the midsection of the county, you will find miles of rural ranch and scrub land, left unscathed by development. It’s has attractions like Legoland and not too far from Disney, Universal, Sea World and other central florida attractions.
