05-28-2025 No Surplus List

05-28-2025 Monroe County had only 2 successfully auctioned tax deeds, one with 4k in surplus and the other with 1k in surplus so we are not providing a surplus list today.


What is this list? When a tax-delinquent property is sold at a tax deed auction, it usually sells for more than the amount of unpaid taxes, fees, and other costs owed to the county. The extra money generated from the sale is called overbids, overages, excess proceeds or surplus fundsĀ and it is due back to the property owner who just lost their home. You can help them put in a claim in exchange for a percentage of the surplus amount.
