How Surplus Funds Work in Connecticut

  • When a property is sold at a Connecticut tax or foreclosure sale for more than what was owed, the excess amount is called "surplus funds."
  • Under Connecticut law, those surplus funds legally belong to the former property owner — not the county.
  • Counties hold these funds for a limited time: you have 2 years from sale date to file a claim.
  • In Connecticut, some claim paths require a licensed attorney (e.g., court petitions); others can be filed directly by an authorized agent.
  • There is no statutory cap on agent fees in Connecticut; we charge a reasonable contingency fee with no upfront cost.
  • After your claim is verified, Connecticut counties typically process disbursements within several months.
  • We handle all paperwork, follow-up, and county communications at no upfront cost — you only pay if we recover funds.
