What are Saint Lucie County surplus funds or excess funds?

Surplus funds, excess funds and overages all describe the same money. When a Saint Lucie, 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 Saint Lucie 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. Saint Lucie County's indexed volume is 16 tax deed and 81 foreclosure sales, so both statutory tracks are in play here.
