What Happens After a Foreclosure
When a property goes through a tax deed or mortgage foreclosure, the county conducts a foreclosure auction to recover unpaid taxes or mortgage balances. The auction begins with an opening bid equal to the amount owed.
What many people don’t realize is that if the property sells for more than the opening bid, the excess funds, known as surplus funds, are rightfully owed to the previous owner. While counties attempt to notify eligible individuals, these surplus notices are often sent to the last known address, leaving many unaware of their potential claim.
