Yes, deficiency judgments are allowed in the state of Florida.

When the lawsuit is filed, homeowners have the right to a jury trial to hear the deficiency case.

Also, the bank must have in-hand service of the lawsuit paperwork on homeowners in order to include a deficiency judgment action in the original case.

This means that if a property is sold in a foreclosure and the sale price is less than the outstanding mortgage balance, the lender can seek a deficiency judgment against the borrower for the remaining amount. However, in Oregon, the borrower must be notified of the lender's intent to pursue a deficiency judgment, and there are specific rules governing the process.


What happens after a judgment of foreclosure on a mortgage?

In very broad terms, the judgment creditor can apply to the court for a writ of sale and have the sheriff sell the property at a public auction. The exact time line will vary by state and will depend on whether or not you are entitled to a deficiency judgment. For example, California has two different time lines. If a deficiency judgment is not available or the creditor waives the right to get a deficiency judgment, then the sheriff gives 120 days notice of levy and 20 days notice of sale. if there is the right to have a deficiency judgment, the sale occurs after 30 days but the owner has a 90-day right of redemption.

Yes, if the state and loan documents allow for a deficiency judgment, the bank can sue for one after the home has been sold at the sheriff sale and there is a deficiency.
