Claim To Receive Surplus Proceeds Of A Tax Deed Sale

CLAIM TO RECEIVE SURPLUS PROCEEDS OF A TAX DEED SALE. This form is used by individuals or entities—such as lienholders or former property owners (titleholders)—to request any surplus funds that remain after a tax deed sale of real property in Lake County, Florida. When a property is sold at a tax deed auction, and the sale amount exceeds the taxes owed and related costs, the remaining funds (called surplus proceeds) may be claimed by those who have a legal interest in the property. This form allows claimants to formally declare their interest and provide the necessary documentation, such as details about recorded liens or ownership history, to support their claim. It requires personal and property-specific information, outlines whether the claim is being made by a lienholder or a titleholder, and includes a sworn affidavit to be notarized. The form must be submitted to the Lake County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller either by mail or email. www.FormsWorkflow.com
