Structured public records data tracking Superior Court tax foreclosure surplus proceeds and commissioner auction balances across Mecklenburg (Charlotte), Wake (Raleigh), and Guilford counties.
North Carolina Statutory Procedure (N.C.G.S. § 105-374 & § 105-375)
In North Carolina, tax foreclosures are conducted through judicial foreclosure actions in the Superior Court pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 105-374 (Mortgage-Style Foreclosure) or § 105-375 (In Rem Tax Foreclosure). When the commissioner's final auction bid exceeds taxes, court costs, and commissioner fees, the excess funds are remitted to the Clerk of Superior Court.
10-Day Upset Bid Period
Under N.C.G.S. § 1-339.25, each auction sale is subject to a mandatory 10-day upset bid period where competing bidders can increase the bid by 5% (minimum ). Surplus balances are finalized only after the upset bid period closes without further filing.
Distribution of Surplus Funds
Claimants must file a formal Special Proceeding Motion with the Clerk of Superior Court. The Clerk conducts a hearing to determine lien priorities (recorded Deeds of Trust, judgment liens, and former titleholders) before ordering distribution.
