Florida Foreclosure is Judicial

Florida foreclosure begins when the lender files a lawsuit (Lis Pendens) against the homeowner. The homeowners must be notified of the legal action pending and must file an answer within a specified period of time. If the homeowner does not respond, the court will make a judgment against the homeowner and set an auction date.

All mortgages shall be foreclosed in equity. In a mortgage foreclosure action, the court shall sever for separate trial all counterclaims against the foreclosing mortgagee. The foreclosure claim shall, if tried, be tried to the court without a jury.
