6th Judicial District 6JD Foreclosure Information

Foreclosure Auction Plan

Pursuant to the Order of the Chief Administrative Judge, AO/35/22, the Sixth Judicial District continues to require submission of requests for public foreclosure auction dates in accordance with the following procedures before any foreclosure sale can proceed to auction. 

1. A Plaintiff or Referee seeking to schedule a foreclosure auction shall submit a request for a date and time to the Supreme Court Clerk of the appropriate County. The Clerk shall respond within three (3) business days and assign a date, time and specific physical location for the conduct of the auction.
2. No foreclosure auction may be scheduled, advertised or conducted without the express prior approval of the Supreme Court Clerk.
3. The date, time and location shall be chosen by the Clerk.
4. To the extent practical, auctions will occur within the Court facility and away from locations in which others may gather or wait for other court matters.
5. To the extent possible, court security will be provided with notice of the date, time and location of foreclosure auctions to allow them to direct attendees to the proper location.
6. Referees appointed to conduct the sale shall be authorized to direct compliance with these requirements as a condition of participation in the auction.
7. The Terms of Sale should be posted before the auction begins. The Referee shall afford prospective bidders time to review the Terms of Sale.
8. At his or her discretion, the Referee may choose not to accept cash.
9. A successful bidder should have in his/her possession at the time of the bid the full 10% of the sum bid, in cash (if accepted at the referee's discretion) or certified or bank check to be made payable to the Referee.
10. All persons wishing to bid on properties will provide proof of identification.
11. Bidders will be required to state their names at the time the bid is made.
12. No sale will be deemed final until the full 10% deposit has been paid to the Referee and the Terms of Sale has been signed; this must be done immediately following the auction.
13. If a successful bidder fails to immediately pay the deposit and sign the Terms of Sale, the property will be promptly re-auctioned.
14. Bidders are cautioned that the failure to furnish the 10% deposit or sign the Terms of Sale after winning an auction may result in the loss of future bidding privileges. The Court reserves the right to impose penalties for inappropriate behavior or other misconduct as it sees fit.
15. The amount of the successful bid (the purchase price) and the name and address of the successful bidder will be recorded.
