Foreclosure Rates

A foreclosure is a legal proceeding in which a lender "repossesses" a parcel of real property after a borrower has failed to comply with the terms of a sales agreement (typically a mortgage). The data reported here is for residential properties only in Hillsborough County. This information is significant because foreclosures have deleterious effects on both individuals / families, and the neighborhoods and communities they live in. For 2007 through 2009 the data was reported by Foreclosures Daily, a Florida-based company that collects information about foreclosure cases each day from the county clerk's office. For 2010 onward, the data was provided by the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser.
