Where the deals are
Most Highlands County activity concentrates around Sebring, Avon Park and Lake Placid. Foreclosure complaints are filed in the 10th Judicial Circuit, and the clerk in Sebring 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
Lis pendens only in Highlands. Probate and tax-delinquent filings are recorded by the clerk but we do not ship those lanes for this county yet — you can pull them free from the clerk's own records search in the meantime.
County figures measured from our own collection of Highlands 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 Highlands County are the top of the acquisition funnel.

Where Highlands County lis pendens filings are recorded
A lis pendens on Highlands County property starts as part of a lawsuit — typically a mortgage foreclosure complaint — filed in the 10th 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 Highlands that means the Official Records kept by the Highlands 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 Highlands County records yourself
Official Records are searched in the Clerk’s Acclaim system. The foreclosure case behind a notice is in the Clerk’s court records, and the Clerk publishes a sale calendar on highlandsclerkfl.gov.
Where Highlands holds foreclosure sales
Recent notices of sale give the Jury Assembly room in the basement of the courthouse at 430 South Commerce Avenue, Sebring, at 11:00 a.m. Check the Clerk’s calendar for the date of any one sale.
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.
