Florida surplus funds
Surplus is created at the sale. DeedScope indexes 5,100 public Florida auction records across 43 counties, including 1,999 tax deed sales, refreshed nightly — so you can see where sales are happening before checking each clerk's surplus list.
Search Florida salesWhen a property sells at a Florida tax deed or foreclosure auction for more than the amount owed, the excess is surplus — the same money some counties and claimants call excess funds or an overage. The Clerk of Court holds it. Tax deed surplus is governed by Florida Statutes § 197.582; surplus from a judicial foreclosure sale is governed by § 45.032.
Lienholders are paid first, in priority order, and then the former owner. The clocks differ by track: for tax deed surplus, claimants other than the former owner generally have 120 days from the clerk's notice and are barred afterward, with unclaimed funds going to the school board. For foreclosure surplus the presumption favors the owner of record on the date the lis pendens was filed, and subordinate lienholders have a longer window following the 2019 amendment to § 45.032. Confirm the current deadline with the clerk — these statutes have changed more than once.
Each county Clerk of Court publishes its own unclaimed surplus or registry list, in its own format and on its own schedule. DeedScope does not hold or broker surplus claims — use the county pages below to see which sales occurred and when, then verify surplus status with the clerk directly.
