In the context of property acquired through a tax deed sale, a Quiet Title action is a Court procedure that is required in order to get a Court Order confirming that the procedures undertaken by the Clerk of Court in performing the tax deed sale were done in accordance with Florida Statute.

When property is sold at a tax deed sale, the effect is to eliminate any claim that the prior owner or mortgage holder or lien holder may have to the title. Thus, when the successful bidder at a tax deed sale obtains the deed to the property, it should be free and clear of any other liens or encumbrances, except for certain excluded liens for municipalities, etc.

Unfortunately, the buyer of the tax deed property does not have "marketable title" unless a Quiet Title action is performed.
