Where the deals are
Most Clay County activity concentrates around Orange Park, Green Cove Springs and Middleburg. Foreclosure complaints are filed in the 4th Judicial Circuit, and the clerk in Green Cove Springs records the lis pendens — usually the same day, which is what makes the filing the earliest public signal on the property.
What we collect here
Clay ships lis pendens and probate filings. Tax-delinquent lists run on Florida's annual certificate cycle under Fla. Stat. Ch. 197, so that lane refreshes once a year rather than daily — it is not stale when it does not move.
County figures measured from our own collection of Clay clerk records on 2026-10-07. The same records are public and free at the clerk's official records search — if ours ever disagree, the clerk is right.

What is a lis pendens?
A lis pendens (“suit pending”) is a public notice filed in county records when a lawsuit is pending against a property. In Florida, it's the earliest public signal of distress — typically filed at the start of a foreclosure case, divorce partition action, or HOA lien suit. See the full lis pendens explainer.
For real-estate wholesalers, lis pendens filings in Clay County are the top of the acquisition funnel.

Where Clay County lis pendens filings are recorded
A lis pendens on Clay County property starts as part of a lawsuit — typically a mortgage foreclosure complaint — filed in the 4th Judicial Circuit. Under Florida law, the notice itself only takes effect once it's recorded with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the property sits (Fla. Stat. § 48.23). In Clay that means the Official Records kept by the Clay County Clerk of the Circuit Court, the county's official recorder, whose public Official Records search is where anyone can look up a specific filing or property.
Searching Clay County records yourself
Records are searched at landmark.clayclerk.com. The Clerk says you can get an unofficial, uncertified copy of many records free online. For records not online, the Clerk lists publicrecords@clayclerk.com.
Where Clay holds foreclosure sales
The Clerk’s foreclosure sales page sends bidders to clay.realforeclose.com and says sales have online bidding. The page does not state sale days or times.
Why daily freshness matters
National list vendors typically republish county filings on a multi-day delay. By the time you call, the homeowner may have already heard from other wholesalers and a hard-money lender.
