Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tax sale surplus?
When your property is sold at a tax auction for more than the amount owed in taxes and fees, the leftover money is called a surplus. That money legally belongs to you — but it’s not always automatically returned.
Why didn't the government send me this money?
In many cases, the government is only required to send a notice to your last known address. If you've moved or never received the letter, the funds may just be sitting unclaimed — or at risk of being taken by the state permanently.
How do I know if I’m owed anything?
Our team researches public auction records and courthouse filings. Once we identify that you’re owed funds, we reach out with proof and a way to claim them with our help.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. We work on a contingency basis. That means you pay nothing unless we recover funds for you. If we’re unsuccessful, you owe us nothing — no risk to you.
How long does the recovery process take?
It depends on your county and state. On average, most surplus claims take 30 to 120 days to process. Some areas may move faster or slower depending on court or county backlog.
Can I file the claim myself?
Yes, but it can be complicated. Most people don’t have the legal or procedural knowledge to complete the claim properly. We have the experience and resources to ensure it’s filed correctly — and quickly — to avoid delays or denials.
Is this legal?
Yes, it’s 100% legal. We follow state laws and local procedures to file surplus claims on behalf of rightful owners. We’re compensated only when you successfully receive your funds.
How much of the surplus do I get to keep?
You keep the majority of your surplus. We only collect a small percentage as a service fee once the money is recovered. You’ll see all terms clearly in your agreement before signing anything.
What if I lost the property years ago?
Surplus funds are still available for a certain time window, depending on your county/state. Some claims can still be filed even years later — but time limits do apply. We’ll check and let you know your options.
What do you need from me to get started?
Just a few details to verify the claim:
-
Your name and contact info
-
Address of the sold property
-
Authorization for us to review and pursue the claim
We handle the rest, including all legal filings and communication with the county.
