Tax Sale Overages Recovery
When a property is sold at a tax sale, any surplus funds remaining after the taxes, penalties, and fees are paid are called tax sale overages. Many property owners or their heirs are unaware of these funds, which can remain unclaimed for years if the proper steps are not taken to recover them.
