When a Florida property is sold at a county tax-deed sale for more than what was owed in back taxes and fees, the difference is held by the county as surplus funds. The former property owner — or, depending on the case, a lienholder or other party with a legal interest — may be entitled to claim it. Working these cases well means tracking who the claimant is, what documentation the county requires, what deadline applies, and where each case stands at any given moment.
Why a Dedicated Tracker Matters
Florida surplus fund cases move through several stages — locating the case, verifying the rightful claimant, collecting the required documents, submitting the claim, and following up until it closes. A general-purpose spreadsheet can list cases, but it won't calculate a fee split, remind you when a follow-up is due, or hand you a script when you're on the phone with a claimant. The Florida County Surplus Tracker was built specifically for this workflow.
What's Included
- Active Cases database with a built-in fee calculator
- Document Checklist tracker so nothing gets submitted incomplete
- Follow-Up Calendar and Case Progress Log
- Ready-to-use outreach scripts for claimant calls
How Access Works
The Florida County Surplus Tracker is a one-time $47 purchase with lifetime access — the same tracker Golden Horizon Asset Recovery uses for its own Florida casework. It runs in your browser, so there's nothing to install, and everything you enter is stored privately under your own account.
