What are Tax Sale Overages?

When a property owner fails to pay their property taxes, the government can auction the property in a tax sale. If the winning bid exceeds the amount owed in taxes, the surplus - known as an overage - is created. Unfortunately, many property owners are unaware of these funds and the process required to claim them. This is where we come in!

Unlock the Value of Your Tax Sale Overages

When a property is sold at a tax sale for more than the amount owed in taxes, the excess funds are known as tax sale overages. These funds rightfully belong to the original property owner, but reclaiming them can be a complex and daunting process.

Why Do Tax Sale Overages Occur?

The Government's Lack of Resources


Auction Dynamics: During a tax sale, competitive bidding can drive the final sale price well above the outstanding tax debt, creating an overage.

Underestimation: Sometimes, the taxing authority underestimates the value of the property, resulting in higher bids and thus, overages.

The Importance of Claiming Your Overages

Local governments often lack the budget and resources to actively inform property owners about their overages or assist them in the recovery process. This creates an opportunity for professional Tax Sale Overages Finders to step in and provide the necessary assistance.
