Know all your options

Every path forward in Pasco County,
explained honestly

There's rarely just one answer. Here are the real options Pasco County property owners have — including the ones that don't involve us at all.

Keep your property

Loan modification, repayment plans, forbearance, or a Pasco County tax payment plan may let you keep it. We'll point you to free, HUD-approved counselors near Dade City who help with this.

Stay in place

Sell on the market

If you have time and equity, a traditional sale in Dade City may net you the most. We'll tell you honestly when this is your best move — even though it isn't us.

Maximize price

Recover surplus funds

If your Pasco County property already sold at auction for more than you owed, that extra money may belong to you — not the bank or the county. Most people never claim it.

You may be owed money

Sell fast for cash

Need to move quickly or beat the auction date? A direct cash sale — house, land, or commercial in Pasco County — can close in days. One option we may offer directly, clearly disclosed, never pushed.

Speed & certainty

Deed in lieu / settlement

Handing the property back, or settling the tax debt, can sometimes protect your credit better than a full foreclosure. We'll explain when it makes sense in Pasco County.

💰 The money most Pasco owners never claim

Did your Pasco County property sell for more than you owed?

When a property in Pasco County sells at a mortgage-foreclosure or tax-deed auction for more than the debt owed, the leftover — called surplus funds — is held by the Pasco County Clerk of Courts and often belongs to you, the former owner.

But there's a catch: the clock is ticking — generally 60 days from the clerk's notice under Fla. Stat. §45.032 — and others comb these records to claim it first. Most owners never even know it exists.

Foreclosure in Pasco County

If you are facing foreclosure in Pasco County, your case is handled by the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court, with the courthouse and Clerk's records located in Dade City, the county seat. Foreclosure sales are conducted online through the RealAuction system at pasco.realforeclose.com, where prospective buyers register and bid electronically rather than at the courthouse steps. Because a sale date is set once the court enters a final judgment, the most important early step is reviewing your case file with the Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller and confirming exactly when your property is scheduled to be sold.
