Citrus County surplus funds
Guidance for locating and claiming foreclosure or tax deed surplus funds held through the Citrus County Clerk of Courts.
Citrus County surplus from Inverness and Crystal River sales is maintained by the Citrus County Clerk of Courts. Claimants file with the clerk to recover excess foreclosure or tax deed proceeds with proper identification. Citrus coastal and retirement demographics produce regular surplus from both sale channels. Surplus Trustees helps Citrus owners work with the clerk on claims involving mobile home titles, heirs, or HOA liens.
