Residential Mortgage Foreclosure
In the 19th Judicial Circuit, commercial mortgage foreclosure cases and residential lien foreclosure cases, except residential mortgage foreclosures, are assigned to the circuit civil division in the respective counties. Residential mortgage foreclosure cases are assigned according to the Administrative Order establishing judicial assignments for those particular cases. This circuit utilizes case managers to assist with managing residential mortgage foreclosure cases. Additional dockets have been set in St. Lucie County to provide more hearing time to increase the court's ability to effectively manage the large number of residential mortgage foreclosure filings. The procedures for setting residential mortgage foreclosure cases on dockets to be heard in the 19th Judicial Circuit Court should be strictly followed. Failure to comply with the procedures may result in your case not being heard. Please see the judge's individual procedures for cases set before: Judge Cox in Indian River County, Judge McCann in Martin County, and Judge Metzger in Okeechobee County.
