Where the deals are
Most Martin County activity concentrates around Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach and Hobe Sound. Foreclosure complaints are filed in the 19th Judicial Circuit, and the clerk in Stuart 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
Martin 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.
County figures measured from our own collection of Martin 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 Martin County are the top of the acquisition funnel.

Where Martin County lis pendens filings are recorded
A lis pendens on Martin County property starts as part of a lawsuit — typically a mortgage foreclosure complaint — filed in the 19th 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 Martin that means the Official Records kept by the Martin 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 Martin County records yourself
Final judgments and land records from 1986 on are in the current search. Older records, prior to 1986, are on a separate index. Plats recorded before March 24, 2017 are on yet another system.
Where Martin holds foreclosure sales
The Clerk states that most foreclosure sales are held online at the Martin County Official Online Foreclosure Sale site, martin.realforeclose.com, on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning at 10:00 AM ET, except legal holidays.
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.
