About Surplus Registry
An independent nationwide public-record research and search platform for foreclosure surplus funds, tax sale surplus and related property-sale excess proceeds.
What is Surplus Registry?
Surplus Registry is an independent national database of surplus funds and excess proceeds from mortgage foreclosures, tax sales, tax deeds, sheriff sales, and other qualifying property sales across the United States.
When a property is sold at auction for more than the total debt owed, the extra money — called surplus funds or excess proceeds — may belong to the former property owner. Surplus Registry compiles records from public sources to help people search for these funds.
Searching Surplus Registry is completely free. No account, no credit card, no hidden fees.
What we do
Compile public records
We collect surplus funds records from courts, sheriffs, county treasurers, and other public sources across the United States.
Make records searchable
We organize records by name, property address, case number, state, and county so you can search them easily — free, with no account required.
Cite official sources
Every record includes the official source — the court, sheriff, or county office that handled the sale — so you can verify directly.
Track deadlines
We track claim deadlines for every record so you know how much time you have to file a claim before funds may be lost.
Independence
Surplus Registry is an independent public-record research and information platform. It is not a government agency and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any federal, state, county or municipal government.
Records, claim procedures, eligibility and deadlines vary by jurisdiction. Users should verify information with the official agency, court or custodian identified in the record.
Our data
Every record in Surplus Registry comes from official public sources. We explain where our data comes from, how it is reviewed, and what "verified" means on our data page.
