When a property is sold at a Florida tax deed auction, the sale proceeds first pay the unpaid
property taxes, interest, fees, and other government costs. If the property sells for more than the
amount owed, the remaining money is called surplus funds. These funds are typically held by
the county and may be claimed by eligible parties.
Surplus funds are generally distributed to former property owners and certain lienholders who
had a legal interest in the property at the time of the tax deed sale. Determining who is legally
entitled to the funds can require reviewing the title history, mortgages, judgments, and other
recorded interests.
Determining who is entitled to surplus funds often requires reviewing public records and the
property’s title history to identify the proper claimant and preparing the documentation needed to
submit a claim. In many cases, multiple parties may claim the same funds. Our team
investigates the property history, prepares the necessary documents, and works through the
claim process so you can recover funds you may not have known existed.
Our services are provided on a contingency basis, which means there are no upfront costs and
no out-of-pocket expenses for you.
We advance all costs associated with researching the claim, preparing documents, and
pursuing the recovery. Our fee is paid as a percentage of the funds recovered, and only after the
funds are successfully obtained on your behalf.
If no funds are recovered, you owe us nothing. This means there is no financial risk to you, and
you never have to pay out of pocket to pursue the claim.
The timeline can vary depending on the county and the circumstances of the claim.
Under § 197.582, Florida Statutes, the county is required to hold surplus funds for at least 120
days after a tax deed sale to allow lienholders and other interested parties time to submit
claims. After this claim period expires, the clerk reviews the claims and determines how the
funds should be distributed. After the claim period expires, the Clerk of Court reviews the claims
and has up to 90 days to determine the proper distribution of the funds.
In practice, the total timeframe can vary by county and on a case-by-case basis. Some claims
may be resolved shortly after the clerk’s review period, while others may take longer if there are
competing claims, title issues, or if the matter must be resolved by the court.
Our team monitors the process, prepares the necessary documentation, and works with the
clerk or the court to help ensure the claim is processed as efficiently as possible.
Florida law provides that lienholders must file a claim for surplus funds within 120 days after the
Notice of Surplus is mailed. If they fail to do so, they may lose their right to the funds.
However, former property owners and their heirs are not subject to the same 120-day deadline.
If no timely lienholder claims are filed, the surplus funds may be distributed to the former owner
of record at the time of the tax deed sale.
If the funds are not claimed for an extended period of time, they may eventually be transferred
to the Florida Unclaimed Property program maintained by the Department of Financial Services,
where they can still be claimed later.
These procedures are governed by § 197.582, Florida Statutes, which outlines how surplus
funds from tax deed sales are distributed.
We look forward to serving your notary, fingerprinting, and document needs!
