My cousin was sick for a few years and out of work and Florida is auctioning his house. Will he get any money from it after the taxes are paid?

Just looked you the statutes in Florida. Here's a couple links. Short answer is yes, he will get what's left if he files for it after the sale. He will have a year once sale is final.

I read it. It says noticed will be mailed to the address. Does that mean it will be mailed to the address of the house he just left? Should he just contact them? Also how does he find out how much it sold for

Says notice mailed to last know address. Just call the county courthouse. You should be able to get answers from the assessor's office.

Shouldn't be a problem if you set up mail forwarding. Go to the post office website and set it up, costs $1 I think. ($0 if you do it in person).
