Act Early: Arkansas Lets Two Different Process Paths Apply

Arkansas allows both non-judicial and judicial foreclosure. Most saved-source Arkansas foreclosures are described as proceeding non-judicially under a power of sale, but a judicial lawsuit may also be used. Because the two paths have different deadlines, identifying which applies to you early is essential.

Path A — Non-Judicial / Statutory

In the non-judicial path, the lender or trustee proceeds under the statutory power of sale in the mortgage or deed of trust — without a court lawsuit. Saved sources describe:

  • Trustee mails a notice of default
  • Sale cannot occur until at least 60 days after that mailed notice
  • A separate 10-day sale-notice requirement before the auction
  • Notice published for four consecutive weeks in a newspaper
  • Public auction, trustee's deed to the highest bidder

Why this matters: The non-judicial path does not involve filing an Answer. Action must focus on review of the default notice, sale notice, and pre-auction options.

Path B — Judicial

In the judicial path, the lender files a foreclosure lawsuit in Arkansas Circuit Court. Saved sources describe:

  • Complaint filed in AR Circuit Court
  • Lis pendens recorded
  • Summons / service of process
  • 30 calendar days to file an Answer (Ark. R. Civ. P. 12)
  • Defenses and counterclaims

Why this matters: In the judicial path, a 30-day Answer deadline applies. Missing it can lead to default judgment.

Not sure which path applies to your Pulaski County property?

Our team can help you review your notices and identify the correct response path. The 30-day Answer timing applies only to the judicial lawsuit path — not to the non-judicial statutory process.

The Arkansas Foreclosure Process: Two Distinct Paths

Arkansas allows both non-judicial and judicial foreclosure. Most saved-source Arkansas foreclosures proceed non-judicially under a statutory power of sale, while judicial foreclosure may proceed through Circuit Court. The two paths have different steps and deadlines.

Path A — Non-Judicial / Statutory

Under the statutory power of sale

  1. 1Power of sale under the mortgage / deed of trust
  2. 2Default occurs on the loan
  3. 3Notice of default is recorded
  4. 4Trustee mails notice of default within 10 days of recording
  5. 5Sale cannot occur until at least 60 days after the mailed notice
  6. 6A separate 10-day sale-notice requirement before the auction
  7. 7Notice published for four consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation
  8. 8Public auction
  9. 9Held at the county courthouse
  10. 10Sale window between 9 AM and 4 PM (where supported by source)
  11. 11Trustee's deed goes to the highest bidder
  12. 12No statutory post-sale redemption in saved source for this path
  13. 13Deficiency may be pursued where applicable

Note: The 30-day Answer timing does not apply to this non-judicial statutory path. No court Answer is filed; action focuses on the notices and pre-auction options.

Path B — Judicial

Lawsuit in Arkansas Circuit Court

  1. 1Complaint filed in AR Circuit Court
  2. 2Lis pendens recorded
  3. 3Summons / service of process
  4. 430 calendar days to file an Answer (Ark. R. Civ. P. 12)
  5. 5Defenses and counterclaims
  6. 6Judgment / court-ordered sale process
  7. 7Limited judicial redemption may apply
  8. 8Deficiency may be part of the judicial case

30-day Answer: The 30 calendar-day Answer deadline applies only to the judicial lawsuit path, in Arkansas Circuit Court.

Redemption: Arkansas's saved sources distinguish between paths. Judicial foreclosure may involve limited redemption rights; the current saved source does not establish a universal fixed judicial redemption period.
