Where the deals are
Most St. Johns County activity concentrates around St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach and Nocatee. Foreclosure complaints are filed in the 7th Judicial Circuit, and the clerk in St. Augustine 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
St. Johns 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.
County figures measured from our own collection of St. Johns clerk records on 2026-08-26. 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.
For real-estate wholesalers, lis pendens filings in St. Johns County are the top of the acquisition funnel. Reaching the owner before a competitor — typically within 48-72 hours of the filing — is how deals get closed at a discount.
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.
Lispend pulls St. Johns County clerk records every morning Mon-Fri at 6 AM ET, and your CSV is ready by 9 AM. First call usually wins — being on the phone by Monday afternoon is the difference between a closed deal and a cold lead by Wednesday.
