Taylor County surplus funds
Guidance for locating and claiming foreclosure or tax deed surplus funds held through the Taylor County Clerk of Court.
Taylor County surplus from Perry foreclosures and tax deeds is held by the Taylor County Clerk of Court. Owners file with the clerk using case or parcel records to access remaining sale funds. Taylor timber and Gulf-access properties produce occasional surplus balances. Surplus Trustees assists Taylor claimants when the clerk requests additional ownership or heir documentation.
