Condo Q&A

Can condo association chase debt from buyer of tax deed sale?

I purchased a condo at a tax deed sale in Florida. Now the condo association's attorneys are after me for all of the previous owner's arrears, interest, late fees, etc. There is a conflict in the law - one statute claims that only governmental liens survive a tax deed sale, and other claims that regardless of how a title is transfered, previous outstanding debt must be resolved. Is anyone else in this position?
