Unclaimed tax sale surplus refers to the excess funds generated from the sale of a property that has been auctioned due to unpaid taxes, after the outstanding tax liabilities owed by the property owner have been satisfied. When a property is sold at a tax sale, any proceeds that exceed the amount necessary to cover the owed taxes, fees, and costs are considered surplus. These funds can remain unclaimed if the original owner or any lien holders do not come forward to assert their right to the excess amount. In many jurisdictions, unclaimed tax sale surplus may eventually become part of the local government's revenues, but property owners retain the right to claim these funds. The claims process is different for every county and state; because it is not one-size-fits-all, that’s where we come in—to mitigate the extant complexities of the process and to ensure that our clients’ interests are prioritized through every step of the way.

Navigating the intricate landscape of asset recovery can be a daunting endeavor. The agencies in control of these assets impose a plethora of specific requirements that must be meticulously adhered to in order to establish your entitlement to a claim and successfully submit your request.

Such entities have every incentive to retain the money unless claimants comply with their stringent rules and deadlines.
