SCHEDULING SALE AND ISSUANCE OF DOCUMENTS POST SALE
- Alachua County will conduct all Foreclosure Sales online at www.alachua.realforeclose.com. Please see Eighth Judicial Circuit of Florida, Administrative Order No. 3.07 (May 28, 2015). All Foreclosure Sale Orders must be in compliance with said Administrative Order.
- Once the Final Judgment has been entered, plaintiff may then electronically file the Notice of Sale for the scheduled sale date. The plaintiff is responsible for sending a copy of the Notice of Sale to the appropriate newspaper for publication. The Clerk will generate the Certificate of Sale, Certificate of Title, and Certificate of Disbursements after the sale is held.

The Clerk of Court will then electronically sign the forms and e-file them through the portal, mailing appropriate copies to those addresses not receiving email.
