Surplus funds (excess proceeds) from tax and foreclosure sales, by county, with claim deadlines and the steps to claim. For former owners, heirs, and the attorneys and agents who help them.
When a property sells at a tax or foreclosure sale for more than what was owed, the difference usually belongs to the former owner or their heirs. Counties publish these surplus lists, but they are scattered, short-lived, and rarely reach the people they are owed to.
Cortex gathers the surplus funds lists, tracks each claim deadline, and explains the claim process county by county. A former owner can search their own name for free. Professionals get the full feed, deadline alerts and case tracking.

Cortex is an information product, not legal advice. Former owners can usually file a surplus claim directly with the county or court at no cost; you do not need to hire anyone. Many states regulate or cap recovery-agent fees and require written agreements, so check your state's rules. The preview below uses fictional sample listings.
