How does foreclosure sale work in Florida?

Florida is a judicial foreclosure state. For a lender to begin foreclosure, the case must be filed and heard in a county court. Judicial foreclosure means foreclosure must go through the court system, be approved by a judge, and the litigation completes when the home is sold at auction to pay off the mortgage balance.

At the sale, the lender usually makes a credit bid. The lender can bid up to the total amount owed, including fees and costs, or it may bid less. Under Florida law, the court clerk must promptly file a certificate of sale after the foreclosure sale, which usually happens within a day of the sale.
