Argentina (AR) — civil law.
Nothing on this page describes United States practice. There is no certificate sold to an investor, no administrative sale, and no post-sale redemption window in Argentina. If you arrived carrying US assumptions, read falsos-amigos first.
Departamentos judiciales
This is the layer that answers operational questions. A subasta is ordered by a
particular court, advertised in a particular boletín, run on a particular portal, and
conducted by a martillero drawn from a particular list — and all four follow the
judicial partition of the province.
The judicial partition is not the administrative one.
Buenos Aires Province has 135 partidos but only 20 departamentos judiciales. A page built on partidos cannot answer “which court, which portal”. Argentina has no county tier of any kind. See departamento-judicial-vs-departamento-administrativo.

Not yet built. Santa Fe is organised in 5 circunscripciones judiciales; the counts
and names for the remaining 22 jurisdictions are needs_verification and will be added from each
province’s ley orgánica del poder judicial rather than inferred. See content-map.
