Tax-sale surplus lists for recovery agents

Surplus lists you can prove, row by row.

SFL Suite pulls tax-sale surplus straight from county clerks and tax commissioners, checks every row against the source, and gives you one place to work each claim from first look to closed.

Why lists let agents down

A bad list costs you more than it saves.

You don't lose time finding surplus. You lose it chasing the wrong person, the wrong amount, or money that's already gone. Here's where most lists break, and what we do about it.

PROBLEM 01

The name sits next to the wrong amount

County surplus PDFs are spreadsheet exports. Copy-paste and ordinary converters shift the rows, so one owner lands beside another owner's money. Nothing looks broken until you've signed the wrong person.

SFL Suite reads each cell by its exact position on the page, then re-checks sample rows against the source with a second, different reader.
PROBLEM 02

The money was paid out last month

Balances drop as claims are paid. A list that's a month old sends you after surplus that's already gone, and you won't know until the clerk tells you.

SFL Suite shows the county's own as-of date on every list, publishes each refresh as a new version, with what changed recorded against the last one.
PROBLEM 03

It's the wrong kind of money

Counties post foreclosure surplus, court registry funds and unclaimed property on pages with nearly the same name. Mix them up and you're working claims under the wrong rules.

SFL Suite publishes tax-sale surplus only. Where a county mixes other funds in, we filter them out and say so on the list.
PROBLEM 04

Three states, three different clocks

Florida, Georgia and Texas each set their own claim windows, holding offices and transfer rules. Miss one and a good claim turns into paperwork with the state.

SFL Suite shows the deadline on every row it can be judged from, and every state comes with a rules sheet: who holds the funds, the window, and when money moves to the state.
The difference

Every row traces back to the county page it came from.

When a clerk asks where you got a figure, you have the answer. When you doubt a row, you can check it yourself in one click.

A source receipt on every row

The county URL, the exact time we pulled it, and a fingerprint (SHA-256) of the file it came from.

A quality gate before anything ships

Amounts must parse, duplicates are caught, totals reconcile wherever the county prints one, and sudden swings get held for review.

A person checks it against the county

No county's first list goes live until we've matched sample rows against the source by hand.

Versions never change after they're published

A correction is a new version, never a silent edit, and the names are printed exactly as the county printed them.

FAQ

Questions agents ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ask it in the form below and a person will reply.

What is tax-sale surplus?

When a county sells a property for unpaid taxes and the winning bid is more than what was owed, the difference is surplus. Florida calls it surplus funds, Georgia calls it excess funds, and Texas calls it excess proceeds. The county holds it for the former owner and other parties with a recorded interest.

Where does your data come from?

Directly from the offices that hold the money: county clerks, tax commissioners and district clerks. We read their published PDFs, spreadsheets and case portals. We publish what the county published: we don't edit owner names or fill gaps with guesses.

What's in each record?

It depends on what each county publishes, but every list we publish lets you find the person, see the amount, identify the property (by address or parcel) and judge the deadline. If a county leaves something out, we say so at the top of that list rather than leaving you to discover it.

How current are the lists?

Every list shows the county's own as-of date. When a county publishes an update, we pull it, run it through our checks and publish it as a new version, with the changes flagged. Counties publish on different schedules, and we show you each one's date rather than promising a cadence the county doesn't keep.

Do you include foreclosure surplus or unclaimed property?

No. We publish tax-sale surplus only. Mortgage foreclosure surplus and general court-registry funds follow different rules, and we filter them out where a county mixes them in.

Can I try it without a long commitment?

Yes. Solo is $19 a month for one county, with the full portal and every refresh, and you can cancel anytime. It's the low-risk way to check our data against the county yourself. If you only want the file once, the One-Time List is $23 for one county's current list as a CSV, with no portal and no refreshes.

What happens if I cancel?

Refreshes stop and the list freezes at the version you had. Your pipeline stays readable and exportable, so nothing you've worked disappears. Come back and it picks up where you left off.

Do the lists include phone numbers or emails?

No. Lists contain public-record data only. Skip tracing is in development, and each plan shows how many credits it will include. We won't promise a date until it's ready.

What if a row looks wrong?

Report it from the row. The report is tied to that exact row and version, a person checks it against the county source, and any correction is published as a new version, so you can always see what changed and when.

Do you recover funds or take a cut of my claims?

No. We publish data and give you tools to organize your work. We don't file claims, contact owners or take a share of anything you recover.

Is this legal advice?

No. Our state rules sheets summarize the statutes and link to them, but the rules on fees, agreements and solicitation are yours to follow, so confirm them with an attorney in each state you work.

Texas is strict: Tax Code §34.04(f) voids an assignment that results from in-person or telephone solicitation, and requires the owner to receive at least 80% of the claim. Our Texas rules sheet covers this.

My county isn't covered. Now what?

Once you're signed in, ask for it on the county requests board. Requests are counted, and the counties agents ask for most are the ones we build next.
