Surplus Is Created

The excess proceeds beyond the debt owed become surplus funds, held by the county or court.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about unclaimed surplus funds from tax sales and mortgage foreclosures.

Surplus funds are the excess proceeds remaining after a property is sold at a tax sale or mortgage foreclosure auction for more than the total debt owed. For example, if a home with $50,000 in unpaid taxes sells at auction for $180,000, the remaining $130,000 becomes surplus funds. By law, this money belongs to the former property owner or their heirs, not the government or the buyer.
