For Your Information:

Mortgage Foreclosure Notices

Upcoming Mortgage Foreclosures Notices, which originally showed under the heading of Misc. Documents in Sequence Order, now have their own heading - Foreclosure Notices. These are taken from a state-wide Public Notice database which makes no claim of accuracy or completeness, and neither does The Blue Sheet. After a foreclosure is complete, it will show in Foreclosure/Auctioneer's Deeds. The instrument number associated with with each notice, is a link to the original mortgage that is being forclosed on.

TBS Numbers and Publication Dates

The TBS numbers are the sequential numbers assigned to each successive publication and will always coincide with a specific, and sequential, date.

The publication date does not necessarily coincide with the upload date for the web site. We will upload as soon as we have data available, which is often the day before print date. The uploaded information will however display the date that coincides with the publication.

Schedule for Record Collections & Uploads

The information that is provided is collected with computers using custom built software, edited to complete all the data fields and then uploaded to our website. The uploads typically take place on Monday afternoons or Tuesday mornings, and Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning;

The current schedule for printing and mailing is the same as the upload, which is twice a week (Tuesday & Thursday) instead of every other day. We will resume the every other day schedule when and if the amount of data to deliver is too much to be supplied with the twice a week schedule. All transactions will be provided to our customers, regardless of how many mailings per week are required.

Incomplete Archive

Our archive data begins in March of 2001. The data offered in the archive was not generated or saved for the purpose of this presentation, and therefore may be incomplete in some areas or some categories. We have made every effort to fill the voids and we believe that the categories that will be of the most interest to the most people are complete. All data collected after the ownership change of July 1, 2003, will be 100% complete and will extend indefinitely.

Bankruptcies

The Blue Sheet discontinued including Bankruptcies when they increased to the point that there was no longer room for them on the paper. We currently offer these in a separate report with discounted cost to subscribers. The size of this report is such that mailing or faxing is not practical, so it is offered in email format only (MS Excel File).
