Getting the Hawaii County list
Hawaii County's Real Property Tax Office holds periodic tax sales but posts no surplus list (its website blocks automated access). Ask the Department of Finance, Real Property Tax Division (Hilo) whether any property sold for more than the delinquent taxes and costs; judicial-foreclosure surplus is held in the Third Circuit Court case. Unclaimed surplus is eventually turned over to the State of Hawaii Unclaimed Property Program (Department of Budget and Finance), where it can be searched and claimed.
