Hawaii · unclaimed money left over from tax deed and foreclosure sales.
Getting the Kauai County list
Kauai County posts no surplus list (its website blocks automated access). Ask the Department of Finance, Real Property Tax Collection Division (Lihue) whether any tax-sale property sold for more than the delinquent taxes and costs; judicial-foreclosure surplus is held in the Fifth 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.
