How owners claim
Foreclosure: file the owner's claim (sample form in s. 45.032) with the court and clerk. The owner of record on the lis pendens date is presumed entitled after timely subordinate lienholders are paid, and the court orders the clerk to pay. Tax deed: file the clerk's notarized claim form, which comes with the mailed notice of surplus. — deadline: Foreclosure: claim within 1 year of the sale, before the funds go to DFS; lienholders have shorter deadlines. Tax deed: 120 days from the notice of surplus for lienholders and other non-owners. The property owner is exempt from the 120-day bar but the funds then go to ch. 717. After transfer, claim through DFS (fltreasurehunt.gov).
Agent / finder fee cap
Foreclosure surplus assignment: total compensation to the transferee/assignee may not exceed 12% of the surplus (s. 45.033(3)). Once funds are with DFS: 30% cap on fees or purchase discount (s. 717.135). No statutory cap found specific to tax deed surplus held by the clerk. verify

Yes, recovery agents and attorneys do this for a fee, but Florida law may cap the fee or require a waiting period (Foreclosure surplus assignment: total compensation to the transferee/assignee may not exceed 12% of the surplus (s. 45.033(3)).
