What are Surplus Funds?

Did you know that if your home is sold in foreclosure or for unpaid taxes, you might still be owed money — and not even know it?

When a property goes to foreclosure or a tax lien sale, the county usually sells it at auction. Let’s say you owed $100,000 on your mortgage, but the house sold for $150,000.

The bank gets the $100,000 they’re owed… but what about the extra $50,000? That’s called surplus funds. And by law, that money belongs to the previous homeowner — not the bank, not the county.

The same thing happens with unpaid property taxes. If the county sells your home for more than the taxes owed, the extra money — the surplus — is set aside for the homeowner.

Here’s the problem: Most people never find out they’re entitled to this money. Counties don’t always make it easy, and the deadlines to claim your funds can be short.
