Georgia surplus funds rules

Sales that create surplus: tax sale (sheriff/tax commissioner tax-execution sale with 12-month redemption; non-judicial power-of-sale mortgage foreclosure (surplus held by foreclosing lender/attorney; HOA/POA lien foreclosure (how surplus is handled
Who holds the money: The officer who ran the tax sale: the county tax commissioner in most counties, the sheriff in some (Fulton County excess funds are held by the Sheriff's Office). For mortgage foreclosures, the foreclosing party or its attorney holds the surplus.
Unclaimed funds go to: After 5 years with no claim or pending action, the excess goes to the Georgia Department of Revenue Unclaimed Property Program. Once there, it is released only on a court order from an interpleader action the claimant files in the county of the tax sale (48-4-5).
How owners claim: File the county's written excess-funds claim form, usually notarized, with ID and proof of interest (record owner at the time of sale, security-deed holders, or other recorded interests, paid in order of priority). The officer must mail notice within 30 days after the sale and may file an interpleader in superior court if claims conflict. — deadline: No fixed deadline while the county holds the funds; after 5 years they go to DOR (court order needed to get them back).
Agent / finder fee cap: None in 48-4-5 (text current as of 2024 checked). After the funds pass to DOR Unclaimed Property, the locator fee is capped at 10%. verify

Law: O.C.G.A. 48-4-5; Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act, O.C.G.A. 44-12-190 et seq. · confirm details with the county; rules change.
