Bucks County foreclosure resources and official contacts

Bucks County lists a mortgage foreclosure diversion coordinator at (866) 760-8911 and asks residents to call within 10 days of being served. Legal Aid of Southeastern PA is at (877) 429-5994. The Sheriff separates mortgage and judgment sales from tax and judicial sales, and listings can change.

See official help

Diversion coordinator

The county instructs residents to call within 10 days of service. Eligibility and proposals matter, and our form does not satisfy that step or create a stay.

Legal help

LASP provides legal help for eligible residents.

Sheriff sale policies

Mortgage/judgment and tax/judicial sales follow different procedures. Listings are published but can change; do not rely on third-party copies.

PHFA statewide help

PHFA's foreclosure/HEMAP line is 1-800-342-2397. HEMAP is a repayable loan with eligibility rules, and a late application does not stop a foreclosure.

Where WorkWithBar fits

We are private, not a counselor, court program or law firm. A property review is optional and separate from these resources, and our form does not pause any proceeding.

If a sale is already listed

Check the Sheriff's official listings and call the office to confirm status, because listings can change. Then call LASP or a lawyer the same day.

Before you call

Keep the papers you were served with nearby, along with your loan statements and income records. Tell the coordinator the date you were served. If you are also behind on property taxes, mention it, because that may involve a different office and process.

Records and municipalities

Bucks County lists boroughs and townships separately. Confirm your municipality before relying on local requirements.

Questions people ask

What if more than 10 days have passed?

Call the coordinator and a lawyer anyway; we cannot advise on your case.

Is the coordinator free?

Ask the county; it is a county program.

Where do I see sale listings?

The Sheriff's official listings page.

Does a tax sale go through the Sheriff?

The Sheriff's policies distinguish tax/judicial sales; ask which office handles yours.
