How we count: a filing is a recorded, posted or published notice that starts a case or schedules its sale (notice of default, notice of trustee's sale, lis pendens or foreclosure complaint, tax-default listing, code case, probate petition). Each property counts once per period, even when several sources print the same notice. Days are the recording, posting or filing date. Counts come from public records and can lag or contain errors; owners' names and street addresses are never shown here. Members get each record with its source link, usually the same day the county posts it.
