Union County surplus funds
Guidance for locating and claiming foreclosure or tax deed surplus funds held through the Union County Clerk of Court.
Union County surplus from Lake Butler foreclosures and tax deed auctions is administered by the Union County Clerk of Court. Claimants submit claims to the clerk for excess proceeds with proper identification. Union small rural county sales occasionally yield surplus for former record owners. Surplus Trustees helps Union owners work with the clerk on heirship and missing record issues.
