The former property owner may be notified when surplus funds are available, but those funds can still remain unclaimed. This is especially relevant when the former owner has passed away and eligible heirs or next of kin may not know that funds exist. We research these cases and work to locate the people who may be entitled to claim them.
Recovering surplus funds involves establishing your eligibility and submitting the required documentation and claim paperwork. We help identify available funds, determine who may be entitled to them, organize the necessary documents, prepare the claim, and guide you through the collection process.
You may be entitled to surplus funds remaining after the county has collected the amount owed from the tax foreclosure sale. Eligibility depends on the circumstances of the property and who has a valid claim to the remaining funds.
After a property is repossessed due to unpaid property taxes, the county may sell it at auction. The county collects what is owed from the sale. If the property sells for more than that amount, the remaining proceeds may be available to the former owner or other eligible parties.
Properties with unpaid property taxes may become subject to the county’s tax foreclosure process. Each situation can be different, so we research the property and available records to determine whether a foreclosure resulted in surplus funds that may be claimed.
Surplus funds can be created when a tax-foreclosed property sells at auction for more than the amount the county is entitled to collect. The remaining proceeds do not simply become the county’s money; they may be available to the former owner or other eligible claimants.
A county may begin the tax foreclosure process when required property taxes remain unpaid. The property can ultimately be sold at auction so the outstanding amount can be recovered. If the sale generates proceeds beyond what is owed, those additional funds may become surplus funds available to eligible claimants.
