The one-year program, funded by the Florida legislature, that established a special foreclosure unit in the 17th Circuit ended on June 30, 2011. As a result, The Foreclosure Case Management Unit was disbanded. All residential mortgage foreclosure hearings will continue to be heard in courtrooms 518 and 519 – cases are not being re-distributed amongst the civil division. 

Beginning July 11, 2011:

-All hearings must be set online.
-Inquiries for all foreclosure cases may be directed to Judge Garcia Wood’s office at 954-831-3580.
-All pro se litigants setting hearings must go in person, with a copy of the motion that was filed with the Clerk of Courts, to
Room 780 in the main courthouse.

Foreclosure division personnel stress the importance of all parties participating in foreclosure proceedings, including litigants, attorneys and paralegals, to please read the online Foreclosure Procedures thoroughly, as a means of finding answers to any questions.

For more information please refer to the Foreclosure Program Page.
