Where the deals are

Most Pinellas County activity concentrates around St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo and Palm Harbor. Foreclosure complaints are filed in the 6th Judicial Circuit, and the clerk in Clearwater 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

Pinellas 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.

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 Pinellas County are the top of the acquisition funnel.

Where Pinellas County lis pendens filings are recorded

A lis pendens on Pinellas County property starts as part of a lawsuit — typically a mortgage foreclosure complaint — filed in the 6th 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 Pinellas that means the Official Records kept by the Pinellas 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 Pinellas County records yourself

The Clerk’s site links its public Official Records search for deeds, mortgages and other recorded documents, separately from its court records search. Per the Clerk, a lis pendens must be recorded, and the filer pays $5.00 for the first page and $4.00 for each additional page.

Where Pinellas holds foreclosure sales

Per the Clerk’s mortgage foreclosure page, bidders register at pinellas.realforeclose.com and deposit certified funds equal to 5% of their estimated high bid before the sale date. A winning bidder owes the balance by 11:00 a.m. EST on the next business day, plus court registry fees of 3% of the first $500 and 1.5% of the rest, and documentary stamp tax of $0.70 per $100 is due before the Certificate of Title issues. The page gives no standing 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.
