Where the deals are
Most Putnam County activity concentrates around Palatka, Interlachen and Crescent City. Foreclosure complaints are filed in the 7th Judicial Circuit, and the clerk in Palatka records the lis pendens — usually the same day, which is what makes the filing the earliest public signal on the property.

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 Putnam County are the top of the acquisition funnel.

Where Putnam County lis pendens filings are recorded
A lis pendens on Putnam County property starts as part of a lawsuit — typically a mortgage foreclosure complaint — filed in the 7th 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 Putnam that means the Official Records kept by the Putnam County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, the county's official recorder, whose public Official Records search is where anyone can look up a specific filing or property.
Searching Putnam County records yourself
The Clerk’s site sends Official Records searches to the state-run MyFloridaCounty search, with Putnam selected. Court cases are searched from the Clerk’s own site at putnamclerk.com.
Where Putnam holds foreclosure sales
The Clerk lists upcoming sales at putnam.realforeclose.com. Every bidder deposit has to reach the Clerk’s Office by 5:00 p.m. on the Monday before the sale, so a bidder who waits for sale day is already too late.
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.
