What are Manatee County surplus funds or excess funds?

Surplus funds, excess funds and overages all describe the same money. When a Manatee, 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.

Who can claim surplus funds in Manatee County?

Generally the former owner of record as of the date the sale was recorded, then subordinate lienholders in order of priority. Claim windows run from the clerk's notice and are short. Manatee County's indexed volume is 51 tax deed and 46 foreclosure sales, so both statutory tracks are in play here.

How many Manatee County auction sales does DeedScope index?

97 Manatee, FL auction records across 10 cities, concentrated in Bradenton, Palmetto and Sarasota. The heaviest month on the current calendar is November, with 43 scheduled sales.

Does DeedScope hold Manatee County surplus funds lists?
