Dominion Surplus Funds Recovery

Money the Court May Be Holding for You

When a Florida property sells at a foreclosure or tax deed auction for more than what was owed, the extra money — the surplus — belongs to the former owner or other rightful parties. It sits with the clerk of court until someone claims it. We help rightful owners find it and claim it, transparently.

How It Works

  1. Research. We monitor foreclosure and tax deed sales across all 67 Florida counties and identify cases where a surplus may exist.
  2. Verification. Before anything else, the surplus is verified directly with the clerk of court. No verification, no claim.
  3. Written agreement. If you choose to work with us, everything is put in a plain written agreement before any work is billed — you'll see exactly what we do and exactly what we're paid.
  4. Filing. We prepare and handle the claim paperwork with the clerk.
  5. You get paid. Funds are disbursed by the court. Our fee comes only out of money actually recovered — never out of your pocket.

Our Fee — In Plain English

No upfront fees. Ever. We are paid only if funds are actually recovered.

Capped by law. Under Florida Statute §45.033, fees for surplus recovery assistance are capped at 12% of the recovered amount. Our agreement will never exceed that cap.

Example: if $50,000 in surplus is recovered, the maximum fee allowed by law is $6,000 — and you receive at least $44,000.

Your Rights — Read This First

You can do this yourself, for free. Every claimant has the right to file a surplus claim directly with the clerk of court in the county where the sale occurred, at no cost, without using any recovery service — including ours.

Deadlines matter. Florida law sets strict claim windows — generally 60 days after a judicial foreclosure sale (Fla. Stat. §45.032) and 120 days from notice in tax deed cases (Fla. Stat. §197.582). Deadlines and procedures vary by county and case; the clerk of court can confirm the deadline in your case.

If we've contacted you, it's because public court records indicate you may be entitled to funds. You are under no obligation to respond or to use our service.
