Understanding Foreclosure Document Types

Lis Pendens (LP)

A lis pendens is the first public notice that a foreclosure lawsuit has been filed. It signals that a lender is taking legal action to recover a property due to missed mortgage payments.

Final Judgments (JUD)

A final judgment of foreclosure means the court has ruled in favor of the lender. The property will be scheduled for a public auction sale.

Judgments of Foreclosure (JFNC)

Similar to JUD, these are court-ordered judgments that authorize the sale of a foreclosed property. The specific code varies by county clerk system.

Tax Liens (LNTX)

A tax lien is placed on a property when the owner fails to pay property taxes. Counties sell tax lien certificates to investors at public auction.

Deeds (D)

Deed transfers recorded after a foreclosure sale show the change of ownership from the borrower to the winning bidder or back to the lender (REO).

Satisfactions (SAT)

A satisfaction of mortgage means the debt has been fully paid. The lien is released and the foreclosure process ends — the owner keeps the property.

Foreclosure Records FAQ

What is a lis pendens?

A lis pendens (Latin for "suit pending") is a public notice filed in county records indicating that a lawsuit affecting a property has been filed. In foreclosure, it's the first official signal that a lender is pursuing legal action. It does not mean the property is for sale yet — it means the legal process has started.

How do I find foreclosure auctions near me?

Use our search to filter by state and county. Properties with a final judgment (JUD or JFNC) are headed to auction. Each county clerk's office publishes auction dates — we aggregate the filing data so you can identify which properties are in the pipeline.

What is a tax lien?

A tax lien is a legal claim placed on a property when the owner fails to pay property taxes. The county government may sell tax lien certificates to investors at auction. The investor pays the delinquent taxes and earns interest when the owner redeems the lien — or may eventually acquire the property through a tax deed sale.

How often is the data updated?

Our data ingestion pipelines connect directly to county clerk office APIs daily. Most records appear in our database within 24-48 hours of being filed at the courthouse. We currently cover 63 counties across Florida, with new counties added regularly.

What states do you cover?

We currently have live data in 1 states, with Florida having the deepest coverage. We're expanding to new states and counties every week. See the full list of states with live data in the "Browse by State" section above.

What's the difference between a foreclosure and an REO?

A foreclosure is the legal process where a lender repossesses a property due to unpaid mortgage. REO (Real Estate Owned) means the property went through auction with no buyer, so it reverted back to the lender's inventory. REO properties are typically listed through real estate agents.
