What are Escambia County surplus funds or excess funds?

Surplus funds, excess funds and overages all describe the same money. When a Escambia, FL property sells at a tax deed or foreclosure auction for more than the amount owed, the excess is held by the Clerk of Court. Tax deed surplus is governed by Florida Statutes section 197.582 and foreclosure surplus by section 45.032.
