What Are "Excess Proceeds" from a Tax Sale?
When your property is sold at a tax sale, the county uses the proceeds to pay off your back taxes. But if the property sells for MORE than what you owed, there’s money left over. That leftover money is called “excess proceeds” or “surplus funds”—and it belongs to YOU as the former property owner.
Real Example:
Your property sold at tax sale for: $75,000
You owed in back taxes & fees: – $12,000
EXCESS PROCEEDS YOU'RE OWED: $63,000
The Problem: Most people don’t know this money exists. The county won’t track you down to give it to you. If you don’t claim it within the deadline, you FORFEIT it forever.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
You typically have 1-2 years from the date of the tax sale to claim your excess proceeds. After that deadline, the money goes to the county—PERMANENTLY.
