Excess Proceeds Recovery

What Are Excess Proceeds?

When properties are sold through county tax sales, the sale price often exceeds the amount owed in taxes and fees.

The remaining funds, known as excess proceeds or surplus funds, legally belong to the former property owner or other eligible claimants.

Many individuals are unaware these funds exist due to lapses in communication with the county, and never complete the claims process.

We assist in identifying and recovering these funds for previous property owners.

Our Role

• Identifying eligible surplus fund claims through tax sale and public record research

• Locating and contacting former property owners to inform them of funds that are rightfully owed to them

• Preparing and submitting claim documentation before county deadlines on behalf of eligible claimants

• Working with licensed attorneys when necessary to navigate complex claims and/or legal requirements

• Recovering funds and facilitating payouts to our clients
