Hernando County surplus funds
Guidance for locating and claiming foreclosure or tax deed surplus funds held through the Hernando County Clerk of Court.
Hernando County surplus from Brooksville area foreclosures and tax deeds is overseen by the Hernando County Clerk of Court. Owners petition the clerk directly for surplus disbursement with case or parcel documentation. Hernando retirement and rural residential parcels contribute to periodic surplus availability. Surplus Trustees supports Hernando claimants when the clerk requests additional ownership proof or lien clearance before release.
