Filed by the clerk right after the auction. It names the winning bidder and ends the owner's right of redemption.
Why it matters to a bidder
Once it is filed, the former owner can no longer redeem the property under Florida Statute 45.0315, unless the judgment sets a different time. It also starts the ten-day window in which someone with standing may object to the sale.
