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 Miami-Dade County are the top of the acquisition funnel.

Where Miami-Dade County lis pendens filings are recorded

A lis pendens on Miami-Dade County property starts as part of a lawsuit — typically a mortgage foreclosure complaint — filed in the 11th 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 Miami-Dade that means the Official Records kept by the Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller, the county's official recorder, whose public Official Records search is where anyone can look up a specific filing or property.

What a lis pendens signals in Florida’s foreclosure process

Florida forecloses through the courts rather than out of court, so a lender has to file suit before a sale can happen. The lis pendens is typically recorded alongside that complaint, and it's the earliest public marker that a specific property is now tied to a pending case — well before any sale date exists. A lis pendens is not itself a completed foreclosure; cases get reinstated, settled or sold long before reaching a courthouse auction. None of this is legal advice about a specific filing or case.

What you need beyond the filing itself

The recorded notice gives you a case number, the parties and the property's legal description — not a phone number. Turning a Miami-Dade filing into something workable means tying the owner's name, a mailing address and the property's street address back to that same case.

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.
