Lakeland, FL – April 2025
Did your Florida home sell at a foreclosure auction? Even if the sale happened months or even years ago, you may still be eligible to claim surplus funds. In many cases, these proceeds remain in court accounts until claimed — sometimes for years.
“Some counties still hold surplus from auctions as far back as 2019,” said research analyst Tom Ellis. “People think it’s too late, but it might not be.”
Statewide efforts are underway to reunite past homeowners and heirs with unclaimed funds.
