What are Palm Beach County surplus funds or excess funds?

Surplus funds, excess funds and overages all describe the same money. When a Palm Beach, 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 Palm Beach 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. Palm Beach County's indexed volume is 98 tax deed and 222 foreclosure sales, so both statutory tracks are in play here.
