What are surplus funds?

Your money could be sitting in your county right now.

What they are

When a property is sold at a tax-deed or foreclosure auction for more than the debt owed, that extra money is called surplus funds.

Why you're owed it

By law, after the taxes, liens and fees are paid, the remaining surplus belongs to the former property owner, not the county, not the buyer.

The problem

Bureaucracy, paperwork, and strict statutory deadlines mean most people never know the money exists, and lose it forever.

Faithful Alliance USA works with a nationwide network of licensed attorneys, with coverage in all 50 states, so your claim is reviewed and handled correctly, wherever your property is located.

Frequently asked

Your questions, answered honestly.

How much does this cost?

Nothing upfront. The claim lookup is free, and we work on a contingency model: a clearly disclosed, agreed-upon percentage of the surplus we recover. If we don't recover funds, you don't owe us anything. The exact percentage is in writing before you sign.

How long does it take?

Most claims resolve in 60 to 180 days from filing. Some move faster, some slower, it depends on the county and court schedule. We keep you updated throughout.

Is this a scam? How do I know you're legitimate?

Fair question, this industry has earned that skepticism. We're licensed (#FL-SRA-2024-0847) and bonded, operate from a published office address in Tampa, FL, put every agreement in plain-English writing, never ask for money upfront, and you can read 287+ verified Google reviews and verify our license online.

What if I already got a letter from another company?

That's common, many firms send mass mailings. You're not obligated to anyone unless you've signed something. We're happy to review any agreement you've already received (at no cost) and explain it in plain English so you can decide what's best for you.

Can I claim the funds myself?

Yes, you absolutely can. It's your money. The process involves court filings, statutory deadlines, identity verification, and sometimes responding to competing claims. Many people do it themselves successfully. Our value is taking the paperwork, follow-up, and deadline tracking off your plate, and only getting paid if you do.

What's the deadline to claim?

Each state and county has its own statutory window, often a few years from the sale date, after which the funds may escheat to the state. Use the deadline calculator below, or call us and we'll tell you exactly where your case stands.

Don't miss your window

Surplus claims have real legal deadlines.

Once the statutory window closes, surplus funds typically escheat to the state, meaning your money is lost for good. Enter your sale date to see roughly how much time you have left.

This is the only urgency you'll see from us, because it's real, and it's tied to law.

Deadline calculator

Surplus claims in your County generally must be filed within 1,095 days of the sale.

Enter your sale date to see how much time you have left.
