Questions

What are surplus funds?

When a property is sold at a tax deed or foreclosure auction for more than what was owed, the extra money (surplus, overages or excess proceeds) belongs to the former owner and, in order, to other lienholders. Counties and courts hold it until someone claims it.

Is this list free?

Yes. Surplus Funds HQ shows every county list we collect for free, with owner names shortened. Pro adds full details, CSV export and same-day alerts.

Where does the data come from?

Only from official sources: county clerks of court, treasurers and tax collectors. Every page links to the original list and shows when it was last updated.

Can I claim surplus funds myself?

Yes — former owners and heirs can usually file directly with the county for free. See how to claim.
