What Are Surplus Funds — And How Can You Claim Yours?

Introduction

When a property is sold at a tax deed auction, the sale often brings in more money than what was owed in taxes or fees. That extra money — called surplus funds — legally belongs to the former property owner or lienholder.

Yet, thousands of people never realize they’re entitled to it.

Understanding Surplus Funds

Surplus funds occur when the winning bid exceeds the amount required to pay off delinquent taxes, penalties, and costs. The remaining balance is held by the county clerk or treasurer until claimed.

Why Most People Never Claim Their Money

• Lack of awareness

• Complex filing processes

• Legal paperwork requirements

• Short deadlines to claim funds
