Governed by Conn. Gen. Stat. Title 49, Chapter 846. The same procedure applies statewide; venue depends on where the property sits.
01
Suit is filed and served
The lender files a foreclosure complaint in Superior Court and serves the borrower along with every junior lienholder. There is no trustee-sale alternative in Connecticut — every foreclosure is litigation from the outset.
02
Mediation notice
For residential property, the lender must give notice of the Ezequiel Santiago Foreclosure Mediation Program. For up to eight months from the return date, neither party may file motions unrelated to mediation.
03
Judgment: strict foreclosure or sale
The court enters either a judgment of strict foreclosure — setting law days by which the borrower and each junior lienholder may redeem — or a foreclosure by decree of sale where there is equity worth protecting.
04
Law days run, or the sale is held
Under strict foreclosure, if nobody redeems by their law day, title vests in the lender with no auction and no proceeds. Under a decree of sale, a court-appointed committee conducts the auction and the court approves the result.

Connecticut’s courts.
Connecticut has no county courts. County government was abolished in 1960 and the Judicial Branch is organised by Judicial District, so each County can be split across several of them. Which courthouse hears your foreclosure depends on the town the property sits in, not the county. Every address, phone number and hours entry below is confirmed against the Judicial Branch’s own directions page, linked from each court.
County pages list the specific courthouses with addresses and hours where they have been verified. Look any courthouse up directly on the jud.ct.gov directory.

Frequently asked.
Is foreclosure in Connecticut judicial or non-judicial?
Judicial, without exception. A lender must file suit in Superior Court and obtain a judgment — Connecticut has no power-of-sale or trustee-sale route. That is the main reason Connecticut files run far longer than the national average.
What is strict foreclosure, and why is Connecticut different?
Connecticut is one of very few states that still allows strict foreclosure. Rather than ordering the property sold, the court sets "law days" — a sequence of dates by which the borrower and then each junior lienholder may redeem. If nobody redeems, title vests directly in the lender with no auction and no sale proceeds. The court may instead order a foreclosure by decree of sale where there is meaningful equity to protect.
What is the Ezequiel Santiago Foreclosure Mediation Program?
A court-run mediation programme that applies to foreclosures on residential property and property owned by religious organisations. The lender must notify the borrower of it when the action starts. For up to eight months from the return date, neither side may file motions unrelated to mediation, and no judgment of strict foreclosure or sale may enter until the mediation period has expired or terminated. It is governed by Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 49-31l through 49-31v.
Which court hears a foreclosure on property in New Haven County?
It depends on the town, not the county. Connecticut abolished county government in 1960 and organises its courts by Judicial District, so different towns in New Haven County can be heard in different courthouses by different judges. The court list on this page maps towns to venues.
How long does a Connecticut foreclosure take?
Properties foreclosed in Connecticut during Q2 2026 averaged 1,626 days — roughly four and a half years, and nearly three times the national average of 563 days. Only Louisiana, Hawaii and New York ran longer. Mediation, law-day extensions and a contested defence all add to it.
