Getting the St. Mary's County list
St. Mary's links a "Balance of Bid List/Excess Funds List" on its Tax Sale page, but the PDF holds only claim instructions, no list. Payees of issued checks contact the Treasurer (301-475-4200 ext. 3300); third parties must file in the Circuit Court. The former owner claims through the county's administrative process (Tax-Property 14-818); anyone else, including a surplus recovery firm, must get an order from the Circuit Court.
