Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

My condo association issued a lis pendens at bay county Florida, I have never received a itemised bill as yet, and told the association lawyer that I need to know how much I owe, and also that the mortgage is owed by SBA for 98K and the property value is only 46K so not sure if I need to tell SBA as they would not allow a forclosure. or do I need to file a notice of appearance , as I have not done any of that

Hi. If a lis pendens was filed, I assume it was filed as part of a foreclosure action against your property. If so, the first thing you would probably want to do is file your appearance in the case as well as any answer and defense(s). If you don't file an answer in the case, the association will ask the court for a default judgment against you. The complaint filed against you should also itemize the amounts currently due and owing - at least as of the date the suit was filed.
