Baker County surplus funds
Guidance for locating and claiming foreclosure or tax deed surplus funds held through the Baker County Clerk of Court.
Baker County surplus from Macclenny foreclosures and tax deed sales is held by the Baker County Clerk of Court. Former owners may file directly with the clerk for excess proceeds after lien satisfaction at sale. Baker rural parcels produce modest but real surplus when auction bids exceed encumbrances. Surplus Trustees helps Baker claimants work with the clerk on heirship and documentation gaps.
