Surplus Docket SURPLUS DOCKET
Practice Focus: Tax Sale & Excess Equity Litigation

Deterministic Intelligence for Tax Deed Surplus Counsel

Tax deed sales regularly yield excess bids deposited into court and county registries. Navigating competing junior claims, governmental priority, and strict statutory filing deadlines requires verified public record data—delivered before claims lapse.

01

Statutory Filing Calendars

Every jurisdiction operates on strict timing: 120 days from notice in Florida (Fla. Stat. § 197.582), 2 years in Texas (Tex. Tax Code § 34.04), and 1 year in California (Cal. Rev. & Tax Code § 4675). We calculate countdowns from verified notice dates.

02

Preliminary Lien Indexing

Prior to outreach or client engagement, our pipeline indexes recorded mortgages, municipal code liens, and satisfaction instruments to assist counsel in evaluating whether equity remains for the record owner.

03

Tyler v. Hennepin Context

The constitutional requirement that governments cannot retain excess equity after tax debts are satisfied has focused judicial scrutiny on surplus retention. Our dossiers provide clean provenance for post-sale claims.
