The Blue Sheet - FYI                              

For Your Information: 

Notice of Foreclosures

Notice of Foreclosures are taken from a state-wide Public Notice database which makes no claim of accuracy or completeness, and neither does The Blue Sheet.  After a foreclosure is complete, it will show in Foreclosure/Auctioneer's Deeds. The instrument number associated with each notice is a link to the original mortgage that is being forclosed on so that additonal information may be obtained.

TBS Numbers and Publication Dates

The TBS numbers are the sequential numbers assigned to each successive publication and have no meaning otherwise. The publication date does not necessarily coincide with the upload date for the web site.  We will upload as soon as we have data available, which is often the day before print date.  The uploaded information will however display the date that coincides with the publication.

Method for Record Collections & Uploads

The information that is provided is collected with computers using custom built software programs. Some editing is done to complete the data fields but some records are as presented by the program and it's intrepretation of the respective Courthouse data, therefore we make no guarantee of it's accuracy. Viewing the original documents is always recommended. The uploads to the website typically take place on Monday afternoon or Tuesday mornings, and Thursday.

The current schedule for printing and mailing is the same as the upload, which is twice a week (Monday or Tuesday & Thursday) instead of every other day.  We will resume the every other day schedule when and if the amount of data to deliver is too much to be supplied with the twice a week schedule.  All transactions will be provided to our customers, regardless of how many mailings per week are required.

 Incomplete Archive

Our archive data begins in March of 2001 for Baldwin County. The archive for Mobile County does not begin until 2015. The data offered in the early archive was not generated or saved for the purpose of this presentation, and therefore may be incomplete in some areas or some categories.  We have made every effort to fill the voids and we believe that the categories that will be of the most interest to the most people are complete.  All data collected will extend indefinitely going forward.

Bankruptcies

The Blue Sheet discontinued including Bankruptcies when they increased to the point that there was no longer room for them on the paper.  We currently offer these in a separate report with discounted cost to subscribers.  The size of this report is such that mailing or faxing is not practical, so it is offered in email format only (MS Excel File).

Art of Org, Art of Inc, and Dissolutions:

Effective the beginning of 2021, Art of Org, Art of Inc and Dissolutions are no longer required to be filed in Baldwin County and can be filed directly with the Secretary of State. As a result the instrument number can no longer be a link to the original document.
