Public Records Indicate Potential Surplus Funds*
Connected to Your Property.

We contacted you because public records appear to show surplus funds associated with a specific tax sale or foreclosure. Confirm the property and claimant details so our team can evaluate the possible match and explain the next step.

*Public-record information may be incomplete or inaccurate. A potential record match does not guarantee eligibility, ownership, fund availability, amount, or recovery.

Understanding the Record

What Happens After a Foreclosure or Tax Sale?

When a property is sold at auction, the sale proceeds are first applied according to the rules governing that sale. If the sale produces more money than is needed for the amounts being satisfied, the remaining proceeds may be recorded as surplus funds.

Depending on the jurisdiction, those funds may be held by a county, court, trustee, or state agency while potential claimants and competing interests are evaluated. Former owners or heirs may have a claim, but deadlines, liens, claimant priority, and local procedures can affect the outcome.

Why We Contacted You

Public records indicate a potential surplus associated with a specific property.

Our outreach invites you to confirm the property and claimant details so we can evaluate the possible match. It is not a guarantee that funds are available or that you are entitled to recover them.

Why SurplusBridge

Your Money. Our Mission.

Public records may show surplus proceeds after tax deed sales and foreclosure auctions. Former owners, heirs, lienholders, or other parties may have a claim, depending on priority, deadlines, and local procedures.

Structured Claim Support

We organize public-record research and claim information so the appropriate process can be evaluated clearly.

No Risk, No Hassle

There is no upfront recovery fee. If funds are successfully recovered on your behalf, our fee is paid from the recovered amount under a separate written agreement.

Proactive Outreach

We contact specific people only after public records indicate a potential surplus record associated with their former property or possible claim.

What to Expect

A Clear, Documented Review

We compare the information you provide with available public records and explain what can—and cannot—be confirmed before next steps are discussed.

Transparent intake

No outreach or intake submission guarantees eligibility or recovery

Requirements, timelines, fees, and professional services vary by state, county, and claim. Any engagement terms are provided separately in writing.

Documented next steps

Review first; agreements only when appropriate

Common Questions

When a property is sold at a tax deed sale or foreclosure auction for more than the amounts the sale must satisfy, excess proceeds may remain. A county, court, trustee, or other office may hold those funds while eligible claimants and competing interests are evaluated.

SurplusBridge works on a contingency basis. There are no upfront recovery fees. If funds are successfully recovered on your behalf, our fee is paid from the recovered amount under a separate written agreement. If no funds are recovered, you do not owe a recovery fee.

Surplus funds are governed by state and local procedures. We encourage you to verify any potential funds directly with the relevant county. Submitting an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship or guarantee a recovery.
