How the Tax Deed Surplus Recovery Process Works

Introduction

When a property is sold at a tax deed auction due to unpaid property taxes, it may sell for more than what was owed. That extra money is called “surplus funds.” If you were the former owner of the property—or are an heir—you may be legally entitled to claim that money.



At Bluestone Property Group, LLC, we make the recovery process fast, legal, and stress-free.



Step 1: We Locate Surplus Funds Owed to You

Our team monitors county tax deed sales and identifies when surplus funds are available. If we've contacted you, it means our research shows you’re likely owed money from a recent property sale.

Step 2: You Authorize Us to Act on Your Behalf

To begin your claim, we’ll send you:

- A Contingency Agreement (no upfront cost)

- A Limited Power of Attorney (so we can file paperwork for you)

- A copy of the official surplus report showing the funds



You sign, and we handle the rest.



Step 3: We Prepare and File Your Claim

We submit all required documents to the county clerk’s office, including:

- Your signed paperwork

- Proof of identity and ownership

- Legal affidavits, if needed



We make sure everything is correct to avoid delays.



Step 4: The County Reviews the Claim

Once filed, the county processes your claim. This usually takes 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the county and whether other parties (like lienholders) have also filed.

Step 5: You Get Paid

When your claim is approved, the county issues a check. We make sure you receive your funds promptly. Our fee is taken only after you get paid—and we beat any competitor's rate.
