Statement Of Claim (Tax Deed Sale - Filed Prior To 10-1-18)

STATEMENT OF CLAIM. Pursuant to Chapter 197, F.S., the surplus of a property that was sold at public auction will be held by this office for 1 (one) year after it became payable or distributable to all persons having an interest in the auctioned property as described in section 197.502(4), Florida Statutes, as their interest may appear (except for those persons described in section 197.502(4)(h), Florida Statutes). To the extent possible, these funds will be used to satisfy in full each claimant with a senior mortgage or lien in the property before distribution of any funds to any junior mortgage or lien claimant or to the former property owner. To be considered for funds when they are distributed, you must file a notarized statement of claim with this office within 1(one) year after the surplus became payable or distributable. If you are a lien holder, your claim must include the particulars of your lien and the amount currently due. Money paid to the tax collector that has not been claimed for more than 1 year after it became payable or distributable, it is presumed unclaimed as defined in s. 717.113, and shall be remitted to the State pursuant to F.S. 717.117, or interpleaded to the 17th Judicial Court. This form is used to request the surplus funds from a tax deed sale. It is filed by individuals or entities claiming an interest in the property that was sold, such as owners, lienholders, or mortgage holders. The form requires the claimant to detail their interest in the property, the amount of surplus they are claiming, and provide supporting documentation. It also explains that the County Administrator will deduct fees and may hold the funds for up to a year before determining payment eligibility. www.FormsWorkflow.com
