What happens at this courthouse.
- Service and return date. A marshal serves the complaint, and the lender’s attorney normally records a lis pendens with the town clerk (C.G.S. § 52-325). The return date printed on the summons is the day the case officially begins at 123 Hoyt Street; file an Appearance on or before the second day after it (Practice Book § 3-2); you do not appear in court that day.
- Mediation notice. If the property is your primary residence, you may be eligible for the Foreclosure Mediation Program. Requests are filed with the clerk here and sessions are held in this building. The program currently covers cases with return dates through June 30, 2029 (C.G.S. §§ 49-31l, 49-31v), and the General Assembly has extended it several times; check the Judicial Branch program page or ask counsel about eligibility.
- Motions and judgment. The lender moves for default and then for judgment. A judge at this courthouse decides whether the judgment is strict foreclosure (title passes to the lender on a set date, no auction) or foreclosure by sale (a committee auctions the property and the court approves the result). A sale is ordered only on a party’s motion and at the court’s discretion; equity in the property is the usual consideration.
- Law days or sale. Under strict foreclosure each defendant is given a law day to redeem by paying the debt in full; if nobody redeems, title vests in the lender. Under a decree of sale, the auction is held on the property and the sale is confirmed by this court. A deficiency claim, if any, is heard here afterwards.

Questions about the Stamford-Norwalk Judicial District.
Is there a Norwalk courthouse for my foreclosure?
The Norwalk courthouse handles criminal, motor-vehicle and housing matters. Foreclosures from Norwalk and the other seven towns in the district are filed at 123 Hoyt Street in Stamford.
I have equity in my home. Does that change how the case goes?
Often. When the property is worth more than the debt, the court is more likely to order a foreclosure by sale so the surplus can be paid to you. An attorney can also use equity as leverage in negotiating a modification, a sale with time, or a payoff. Do not let the case default; equity you do not protect can be lost to strict foreclosure.
Do Stamford-district attorneys cost more?
Fees vary by firm, not by court. Ask for the fee structure in writing at the first meeting and compare it to two other firms on this page.
