What are tax deed surplus funds?
When a property sells at a tax deed sale for more than the taxes, fees and costs owed, the remaining money may be called surplus or excess proceeds.
How do I know whether I may be entitled to surplus funds?
Entitlement depends on state and local law and the facts of the sale. Our preliminary review can help identify whether further research is appropriate, but it does not confirm eligibility.
Does every tax deed sale generate surplus funds?
No. Many sales produce no surplus. Whether funds remain depends on the sale price and the amounts legally owed.
How long do I have to claim available funds?
Deadlines vary by state, county and circumstances. Do not rely on a general rule; confirm the applicable deadline with the appropriate government office or a licensed attorney.
Will submitting an inquiry cost me anything?
No. Submitting an inquiry is free and creates no obligation to engage our company.
Can I pursue a claim without using a recovery company?
Generally, yes. A former owner can usually investigate and pursue an eligible claim directly with the appropriate government office. Professional assistance is optional.
Is America Surplus Recovery Group affiliated with the government?
No. We are a private company and are not a government agency, law firm or county tax office.
What happens after I submit my information?
Our team reviews the details you provide and contacts you if additional information is needed. Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee that funds exist.
