What is inside a Sarasota County eviction list

The field list below is copied in substance from the description on the newest Sarasota County eviction listing, a June 2026 edition. Nothing beyond it is promised here.

Owner name and property address
Owner mailing address
Property assessed value
Parcel number and property type
Additional fields specific to eviction data

Every named field describes a property and the person who owns it, which suits sorting, de-duplicating by parcel number and addressing a letter. The final bullet is intentionally general, so the exact case-level columns can only be confirmed from the free sample. Ask for it before you build a CRM mapping.

How eviction cases are created in Sarasota County, Florida

Florida handles residential evictions through a statewide statute, then each county's court and clerk put it into practice. The statute is Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes, with residential tenancies in Part II. What makes Sarasota County specific is the office that receives the filing, the people who serve papers and the deputies who carry out a writ.

The offices involved

Sarasota County Court. Section 83.59 directs a landlord to file the complaint "in the county court of the county where the premises are situated," so a Sarasota County rental is filed in Sarasota County Court. The county belongs to the Twelfth Judicial Circuit, which the circuit's website says serves DeSoto, Manatee and Sarasota counties.
Sarasota County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller. This is the official name shown on the Clerk's website. The Clerk takes the filing, issues the summons and keeps the case file.
Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, Civil Section. The Sheriff can serve a summons, and the Civil Section handles writs of possession.

Step 1: the written notice

A court case normally follows a written notice from the landlord. Under Section 83.56, when rent is unpaid the tenant has three days, excluding Saturday, Sunday and court-observed legal holidays, after the landlord's written demand. For a non-monetary lease problem the notice gives seven days from delivery to fix it. The statute lists several delivery methods and says the notice requirements cannot be waived in the rental agreement.

The Clerk's landlord FAQ adds a practical point: the court will not act on the eviction petition until proof of service and the three-day notice are on file. A private process server can serve the notice and supply an affidavit of service.

Step 2: the complaint and the summons

If the notice period ends without payment or a cure, the landlord may file for possession. The Clerk's FAQ says the notice and complaint can be submitted through the Florida Courts e-filing portal, by mail or in person at a Clerk location in Sarasota or Venice. It says that once the complaint is filed and the fee is paid, the Clerk issues a summons for tenant eviction, and that the Sheriff or a private process server can serve it. The FAQ refers to the Clerk's fee schedules instead of listing amounts, so check the current County Court civil fee schedule.

Step 3: the tenant's response

The response window is in the statute. According to Section 83.60, a tenant has five days after service of process, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, to deal with the rent claim. If the tenant raises a defense other than payment, the tenant must pay the accrued rent into the court registry, and the section describes missing that deposit as an absolute waiver of defenses other than payment. Where the tenant does neither, the statute says the landlord is entitled to an immediate default judgment and a writ of possession, without further notice or hearing.

Step 4: judgment and the writ

After a judgment for possession, Section 83.62 has the Clerk issue a writ to the Sheriff describing the premises and commanding the Sheriff to put the landlord in possession after 24 hours' notice posted conspicuously on the premises. The statute adds that Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays do not pause that 24-hour period. In Sarasota County, the Sheriff's Civil Section page lists a writ of possession at $90 per writ, described as a $40 service fee plus a $50 execution fee, payable by check, money order or exact cash, and it requires a contact information sheet naming the person who will meet the deputy and accept possession. Fees change, so confirm with the Civil Section.

What this means for a list

Each step can leave a document in the court file: a complaint, a summons, proof of service, a motion, a default, a judgment, a writ or a dismissal. A prepared list captures filings at a point in time, and a filing is only the start of a process. Some cases settle or are dismissed. A record shows a landlord-tenant dispute reached the court, not the outcome, and it is not evidence that an owner wants to sell.

Where Sarasota County eviction records live, and what is free versus paid

Florida's public records statute, Section 119.01, says all state, county and municipal records are open for personal inspection and copying by any person. For eviction cases, the custodian is the Sarasota County Clerk. The Clerk's website has a Records menu with a "Search for Court Case" link, a Civil Court menu with a "Find a Civil Case" link, and an electronic court records request option.

Three points matter if your goal is a mailing list rather than one case:

A case search finds cases you already know about. It is designed for looking up a name or case number, not for pulling a week of new filings in one export.
A court file is not a property file. A filing names parties and a rental address. The owner's mailing address, assessed value and parcel number sit in separate county property records, and someone has to match the two. That matching is the labor a prepared file removes.
Access details vary by document. What is viewable online, what needs a request and what costs a copy fee are questions for the Clerk. We could not read a page that settles them, so we do not state them.

The Sarasota County Property Appraiser (sarasotapropertyappraiser.gov) is the usual place to check parcel details for an individual address once you have a record in hand. A prepared file saves time because collection, matching and formatting are done before you open it. It does not replace judgment: you still choose which rows fit your plan and you still verify before you act.

Who buys Sarasota County eviction lists, and how they use them

Eviction filings involve housing and often hardship, so the right use is to reach property owners with something useful, not to approach tenants. Typical buyers include:

Investors who buy rental properties. A landlord dealing with a dispute may be weighing whether to keep a rental. Mailing owners whose properties match a buy box is a straightforward way to start a conversation.
Agents. Some agents introduce themselves to landlords who may be thinking about selling or repositioning a property.
Landlord-side service providers. Property managers, tenant-screening companies, rent-collection services, process servers and document preparers all market to landlords.

A step-by-step workflow

Request the free sample and compare its columns with your CRM import template.
Choose the edition: the latest weekly file for fresh filings, or a monthly file for a wider window.
Keep one row per parcel number so an owner with several filings is mailed once.
Split the file into owners whose mailing address matches the property and owners whose mailing address is somewhere else.
Filter by property type and assessed value to match your area and deal size.
Send a plain, honest letter first. Move to calls or texts only through channels you have cleared.
Record every response, then pull the next period and compare.

How to prioritise using only the fields in the file

Mailing address: an owner whose mailing address differs from the property address is likely not living there, which fits a landlord profile. This is the most useful person-level filter in the described fields.
Property type: drop the types your business does not handle.
Assessed value: a rough size filter. It is not a market value or an offer number.
Parcel number: match it against other Sarasota County files, such as code violation lists, foreclosure lists and pre-foreclosure lists. A parcel that appears in more than one file deserves a closer look.

Eviction list pricing in Sarasota County

Pricing is per record, starting at $0.15 per record. A file costs its record count times the per-record rate. You can reach that starting rate through a weekly or monthly subscription, through a bundle that spans several counties or list types, through volume on a larger file, or with a discount code. This article quotes no subscription prices; the subscriptions page has the details.

Recent Sarasota County eviction listings:

Listing	Period	Price shown
Monthly edition	June 2026	$1.40
Weekly edition	Jun 22-28, 2026	$1.40

These are dated examples, not guarantees, and the store currently shows only these two Sarasota County eviction listings. No record count is displayed on either one, so we do not derive a per-record figure from the price. For current editions, see the eviction records collection and the Sarasota County product search.

Worked example (illustration, not market data): a hypothetical 200-record file at the $0.15 starting rate would cost 200 x $0.15 = $30.00. Standard skip tracing at $0.10 per record would add 200 x $0.10 = $20.00 for the same records, and Premium skip tracing at $0.15 per record would add $30.00. DNC scrubbing is available on request. See the skip tracing page to order.

Compliance and respectful outreach

The points below are general information, not legal advice. A Florida attorney can review your specific outreach plan.

Calls and texts. Federal telemarketing rules include the National Do Not Call Registry. The FTC's guidance for sellers says that if you must use the registry, you must synchronize your lists with an updated version at least every 31 days. Exemptions exist, so find out which, if any, applies to you, and check Florida's own telephone solicitation rules too.
Mail. Letters are the simplest first contact for a file like this. Use a real return address.
Fair housing. Treat every record by the same business criteria. Do not sort, include or exclude people because of protected characteristics.
Honesty. Say who you are and what you offer. Never suggest you are connected to the court, the Clerk, the Sheriff or the landlord's attorney.
Dignity. Tenants and landlords in these files may be under strain. Do not contact occupants about buying the property, and stop when someone asks you to.

Common mistakes with eviction lists

Reading a filing as proof that someone was evicted or that an owner is ready to sell.
Skipping the sample and finding out later that a column your CRM needs is missing.
Mailing every row without keeping one record per parcel.
Using assessed value as if it were a market value.
Aiming outreach at occupants instead of property owners.
Calling or texting without checking suppression lists.

Public records yourself, a prepared file, or a national platform

Approach	Strength	Trade-off
Public records yourself	Direct from the Clerk; open to any person under Florida law	Case-by-case lookups; owner and parcel details must be matched by hand
Prepared county file (ListCentral)	One CSV per period; property-level fields; per-record pricing; buy only the county you need	Case-level columns depend on the edition, so confirm in the sample
National subscription platforms	Many markets and tools under one login	Usually a recurring plan that suits multi-market users more than a one-county buyer

Eviction lists in Sarasota County: frequently asked questions

How much does an eviction list cost in Sarasota County, FL?

The price starts at $0.15 per record, and a file costs its record count times the rate. Subscriptions, bundles, volume and discount codes are the routes to that starting rate. The two recent Sarasota County listings, a June 2026 monthly edition and a June 22-28, 2026 weekly edition, each show a price of $1.40.

What is an eviction list?

An eviction list is a prepared spreadsheet of properties linked to landlord-tenant court filings. Instead of searching case by case, you get one file you can sort, filter and load into a CRM. The Sarasota County version is built from public county records and delivered as a CSV.

Where are eviction cases filed in Sarasota County?

Florida Statute 83.59 tells a landlord to file in the county court of the county where the rental sits. For a Sarasota County property, that is Sarasota County Court, and the Sarasota County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller takes the filing, issues the summons and keeps the file.

Are eviction records public in Florida?

Florida's public records law says county records are open for personal inspection and copying by any person. Court files are kept by the Clerk, and the Clerk's site offers a court case search. Whether a specific document is viewable online, restricted or subject to a copy charge is something to confirm with the Clerk.

What fields are in the Sarasota County eviction list?

The listing description names owner name and property address, owner mailing address, property assessed value, parcel number, property type and additional fields specific to eviction data. It promises nothing beyond that. Request the free sample to see the exact columns in the edition you plan to buy.

How often is the Sarasota County eviction list updated?

Data is updated daily, and weekly files are refreshed by the close of Thursday. Both weekly and monthly editions are offered, so you choose the period. Recent examples cover June 22-28, 2026 (weekly) and June 2026 (monthly), and the collection page shows the newest editions.

Can I get a free sample of the Sarasota eviction list?

Yes. The free samples page lets you request sample records ahead of any purchase. Seeing real rows is the fastest way to check the column layout against your CRM and your mailing process, and to confirm which eviction-specific columns the edition includes.

Is it legal to use eviction records for marketing?

The underlying records are public court filings, and lawful marketing based on public records is common. How you reach people is what the rules cover: telemarketing, texting, mail and fair housing all apply. This is general information rather than legal advice, so let a Florida attorney review your scripts first.

Does the list name the landlord or the tenant?

The listing description is property-centered: owner name and property address, owner mailing address, assessed value, parcel number and property type. That points to the owner side. Any additional eviction-specific columns are not itemised, so check the sample to see exactly which party details appear, and do not assume more than it shows.

Does a filing mean the tenant was evicted?

No. A filing only starts a court process, and the case can finish in many ways, including a possession judgment, a settlement, a dismissal or a move-out. Treat every row as a lead to research, not proof of an outcome, and avoid describing anyone as "evicted" in your mailers unless you have confirmed it.

What is the Florida notice period before an eviction filing for unpaid rent?

Under Section 83.56, the tenant has three days after the landlord's written demand, excluding Saturday, Sunday and court-observed legal holidays, to pay or leave before the landlord can proceed. Other lease violations use a seven-day notice. Rules and forms change, so check the current statute and the Clerk's forms.

Who carries out a writ of possession in Sarasota County?

Florida Statute 83.62 has the Clerk issue the writ to the Sheriff, who puts the landlord in possession after 24 hours' notice posted on the premises. In Sarasota County, the Sheriff's Office Civil Section handles writs and lists the requirements and fees on its civil procedures page. Confirm current fees there.

Can I add skip tracing to an eviction list?

Yes, as an add-on: Standard is $0.10 per record and Premium is $0.15 per record. DNC scrubbing can be arranged on request. The skip tracing page explains how to order. Check any phone or text plan against the rules that apply to you first.

How is an eviction list different from foreclosure or code violation lists?

Eviction data comes from landlord-tenant court filings, so it tends to surface rental owners. Foreclosure and pre-foreclosure data come from lender-driven cases, and code violation data comes from local enforcement. Matching on parcel number shows which owners turn up in more than one file.
