Where the deals are
Most Lake County activity concentrates around Clermont, Leesburg, Eustis and Mount Dora. Foreclosure complaints are filed in the 5th Judicial Circuit, and the clerk in Tavares 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
Lake ships lis pendens, probate and tax-delinquent 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.
By recent filing volume, Lake ranks 8th of the 26 Florida counties we cover.
County figures measured from our own collection of Lake 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 Lake County are the top of the acquisition funnel.

Where Lake County lis pendens filings are recorded
A lis pendens on Lake County property starts as part of a lawsuit — typically a mortgage foreclosure complaint — filed in the 5th 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 Lake that means the Official Records kept by the Lake County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, the county's official recorder, whose public Official Records search is where anyone can look up a specific filing or property.
Searching Lake County records yourself
Recorded documents are searched at officialrecords.lakecountyclerk.org. Court cases sit in the Clerk’s separate online court records search, which comes with its own user guide.
Where Lake publishes foreclosure sales
The Clerk keeps a foreclosure sales calendar and a page of foreclosure FAQs on lakecountyclerkfl.gov. Check the calendar for sale dates.
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.
