State Guide

How Surplus Funds Work in Georgia

  • When a property is sold at a Georgia tax or foreclosure sale for more than what was owed, the excess amount is called "surplus funds."
  • Under Georgia law, those surplus funds legally belong to the former property owner — not the county.
  • Counties hold these funds for a limited time: you have 1 year from sale date to file a claim.
  • Georgia requires a licensed Georgia attorney to file surplus fund claims on your behalf.
  • There is no statutory cap on agent fees in Georgia; we charge a reasonable contingency fee with no upfront cost.
  • After your claim is verified, Georgia 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.
