Calculating statutory forfeiture deadlines across multiple state foreclosure and tax sale regimes requires strict adherence to distinct statutory triggers. While Florida Statute § 197.582 measures its 120-day claim period from the Clerk's notice of surplus, Texas Tax Code § 34.04 enforces a 2-year statute of limitations from the sheriff or constable sale date, and California Revenue and Taxation Code § 4675 enforces a 1-year deadline from the recordation of the tax deed to the purchaser.

To standardize deadline computation across law firm intake portals, university housing clinics, and Bar practice management hubs, Surplus Docket has released the MIT-licensed OpenSurplus SDK (v1.2.0). The package includes both a drop-in HTML Web Component (<surplus-statute-calculator>) and a standalone Python 3 command-line utility (surplus_statute_cli.py).
