Frequently Asked Questions - Foreclosure
Can I get a list of residential or commercial properties being foreclosed?
The Court does not keep a list of residential or commercial properties in foreclosure. Foreclosure cases are Civil Action cases and they are indexed in the names of the individual( s) licensed to make the sale and the debtor's names. You might utilize the computer systems in our record room to browse for foreclosure cases. The finest way to find information about residential or commercial properties going to foreclosure is to look at the legal notifications posted in local papers. The notices supply contact info to the auctioneer.
Where are your foreclosure auctions held and at what time?
The Clerk's Office does not set up foreclosure auctions. Before offering the residential or commercial property, the specific licensed to make the sale will release notification of the time, location, and terms of the sale in a paper of general circulation in the county in which the action is pending. Many auctions occur on the front steps of the courthouse, since it is a familiar point of referral. However, each sale is unique. Persons interested in attending a sale needs to look in the legal notices for the sale information and call the person responsible for the sale to make sure that the sale will be held.
How can I discover if the sale is going forward or if the sale was held?
The Clerk's office will have no understanding of whether a scheduled sale will go forward or be rescheduled. Until a report of the sale is submitted with the Courts, the Clerk's Office will not be able to tell you if the sale was actually held. The person authorized to make the sale has up to 1 month to report the sale to the Court. Questions concerning a sale can be directed to the individual( s) authorized to make the sale whose name and contact information appear in both the advertised publication and any posted or mailed notices.
Can I submit a Request for Mediation in my Foreclosure Case?
If your case was filed July 1, 2010 or later on, and the action is to foreclose a lien on owner-occupied residential home, you may be eligible for mediation.
