This happens when a Delinquency notice is sent to the last address on record for your case. If you moved and didn't notify our office, then you wouldn't have received the notice. Once 15 business days have passed without the account being brought current, or a motion contesting the delinquency is filed, then the judgment will be entered.
What does a judgment mean? Before you buy or sell property in Okaloosa County only, the judgment must be satisfied.
How do I pay off a judgment? You may request a Certificate of Payoff. You will receive a payoff statement in 7-10 business days which will be good for 30 days from the date of the statement.
