When the County sells a tax-defaulted property for more than the taxes and fees owed, the leftover money becomes “excess proceeds.” If you owned the property, you may be entitled to that surplus.

You can, but the process can be confusing, and mistakes or missing documents often delay or deny claims.

There may also be competing claims from lenders, HOAs, cities, or buyers.
We file it correctly the first time, track everything, and ensure your claim is protected.

Yes.

FRGN LLC coordinates with licensed attorneys whenever legal representation is needed, especially in cases involving competing claims or court review.

You still pay no upfront costs.
Attorney fees only apply if a case requires court involvement, and those are always explained upfront.

Time varies depending on where your claim falls in the County review cycle. Some cases resolve within a few months; others take longer. We track your claim and update you consistently.

Typically:

ID

Proof you owned the property at the time of the tax sale (we help retrieve it)

Required County claim form

Agent or Assignment form (if you choose to use FRGN LLC)
