What is a Tax Sale Surplus?

⭐ Understanding Tax Sale Surplus (Overage)

When a property is sold at a tax sale, the county only keeps the amount owed in taxes and fees.

If the property sells for more than what was owed, the extra money is called a tax sale surplus — and that money legally belongs to you.

Many people never find out about these funds, and if they go unclaimed long enough, the state may end up keeping your money.

⭐ How We Help You

Since 2020, our company has been dedicated to helping homeowners and families during difficult financial times. We provide several services designed to protect your equity, recover money owed to you, and support stable housing.

1. Helping Homeowners Keep Their Equity Before a Tax Sale

Even when someone falls behind on taxes, most still have equity in their home.

We help by paying homeowners the equity they’re entitled to before their property goes to auction, giving them immediate financial relief and preventing a total loss.

2. Recovering Your Surplus Funds — With Zero Upfront Costs

If your property has already been sold, we can help you claim the surplus/overage funds that you’re legally entitled to.

What makes us different from most companies is simple:

No upfront costs

No hidden fees

We work for free until the funds are recovered

We only collect 10–20% of the recovered amount — and only if we’re successful

You risk nothing. If we don’t recover anything, you don’t owe anything.

3. Supporting Low-Income Families Through Housing Programs

In addition to helping homeowners and former property owners, we also help families find affordable housing, including assistance through the Section 8 program.

Providing safe and stable housing is a major part of our commitment to the community.

⭐ Our Mission

Our mission is to help people in need by offering real, practical solutions during difficult times — and to do everything with compassion, honesty, and integrity.

Whether we’re recovering surplus funds, protecting home equity, or supporting low-income families, our goal is always the same: to make a positive difference in people’s lives.

FAQ - Tax Sale Surplus Recovery

What is a tax sale surplus (overage)?

A tax sale surplus—also called “overage”—is the extra money left over when a property is sold at a tax sale for more than what was owed in back taxes, interest, and fees. That remaining balance legally belongs to the former property owner or their heirs.

Why wasn’t I notified about my overage?

Counties are legally required to attempt notification, but they typically send only one or two letters to the last known address. If you’ve moved, changed your mailing address, or the county had outdated records, you may never receive notice.

Why do I need help recovering my funds?

The claim process can be time-sensitive, confusing, and full of legal requirements. Missing paperwork or deadlines can lead to permanent loss of the funds. Our job is to handle everything correctly, quickly, and stress-free so you can collect what’s owed to you.

How much do you charge?

We are unique compared to most firms—we charge absolutely nothing upfront.
You pay 0% unless we successfully recover your funds.
Only after recovery do we receive 10–20% of the overage amount, depending on the complexity of the claim.

Is this really legitimate?

Yes. Tax sale surpluses are real, court-recognized funds. Every case we take is backed by public county records, and all funds are released directly from the county or court. We simply assist you in navigating the process.

How long does it take to get my money?

Time varies by county, but most recoveries take 4–12 weeks once the claim is filed. Some may take longer depending on court backlogs or if additional documentation is required.

What if there are multiple heirs or co-owners?

We help coordinate the entire process. Each heir signs an agreement, and funds are distributed according to legal ownership shares. We handle all the complexity so families don’t have to.

What if someone else already filed a claim on my money?

This is rare, but when it happens we investigate the claim for legitimacy. If needed, we help you contest fraudulent or incorrect filings. We only proceed when we can confirm you are the rightful claimant.

What happens if we fail to recover the funds?

You owe nothing.
No fees.
No bills.
No risks.
We only get paid if YOU get paid.

Why contact me—how did you find my case?

We monitor county records for unclaimed surplus funds. When we identify an eligible case, we reach out directly to the rightful owner to help recover what’s legally theirs. Everything we reference is public information.

What’s the next step if I want to move forward?

Just sign our simple contingency agreement, and we begin immediately. We handle research, paperwork, filing, communication, and follow-up with the county/court from start to finish.
