New ruling by U.S. Supreme Court says that the government has to give your money back that’s leftover from a tax foreclosure sale!
Yes, on May 25, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Tyler v. Hennepin County that tax foreclosure overages / surplus must be returned to the taxpayer. This ruling applies when a government seizes and sells property to collect unpaid taxes. So, it’s unconstitutional for municipalities/counties to unilaterally retain the surplus money generated from tax lien foreclosure sales. If you are the former owner of a tax-foreclosed home (or property), we can help you find and claim your leftover money.
Why the ruling was made
– The ruling states that the government cannot take more property than it is owed.
– The ruling upholds the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause, which prevents the government from taking property without just compensation.
How the ruling impacts taxpayers
– The ruling requires that taxpayers are given the opportunity to recover any surplus funds from a tax foreclosure sale.
– The ruling is expected to impact homeowners across the country.
What happens after a foreclosure sale?
After a foreclosure sale, any excess funds are used to pay off liens on the property. If there are no other liens, or if there are additional funds after the liens have been paid, the remaining funds may be available to the former homeowner.

FAQ:
Does a tax foreclosure affect your credit?Answer:
No. The three major credit bureaus no longer place tax liens on your credit reports, so a tax lien no longer affects your credit. This includes all kinds of tax liens, by the way.FAQ:
Why Can’t I Just Do The Claim Myself?Answer:
If you knew how, then you wouldn’t be here. You need specialized knowledge of tax codes and court procedures. There’s time-consuming research, paperwork, and communication. Mistakes or missed deadlines equals zero success. Knowing you have a claim, and knowing how to find and claim it, are two different things. Each step requires experience.
