Not shown: the list gives the month of the sale, not the day. The statute's five-year payover to the Georgia Department of Revenue runs from the tax sale date (O.C.G.A. 48-4-5). Individual former owners are shown as initials; business names as published. Where the list gives no street address, a row shows the parcel or case number only. Amounts change as claims are paid: confirm with the office that holds the money.
How to claim surplus funds in Gwinnett County
O.C.G.A. 48-4-5: money left after the taxes, costs and expenses of a tax sale is excess funds. The officer who made the sale must mail written notice, within 30 days, to the record owner at the time of the sale, to each record security deed holder and to others with a recorded equity interest or claim, and the funds go to them as their interests appear, in order of priority. The officer may file an interpleader action in superior court to have the court distribute them, and the cost of that action, including reasonable attorney's fees, is paid from the excess funds. After five years from the tax sale date, unclaimed excess funds with no claim pending must be paid over to the Georgia Department of Revenue; after that only a court order from an interpleader action filed by the claimant in the county where the sale was held releases them.
Per the Tax Commissioner: complete the office's excess funds claim form in its entirety and unaltered, and send it with supporting documents to the Gwinnett County Tax Commissioner's Office, Department of Property Tax, P.O. Box 372, Lawrenceville. The office says no one is required to pay or be represented by a third party to claim; claims may go to the County Law Department for review, and if more than one claim is received a judge may decide who receives the funds. Statute: O.C.G.A. 48-4-5.
HeritageDeed is not a surplus recovery company and does not file claims. Claims are filed with the clerk, court or state office named on each county page, whose instructions describe claimants filing for themselves; a lawyer is optional.
Liens are paid before the former owner
Whatever is recorded against the property (an unreleased mortgage, a judgment, a code enforcement or tax lien) can take part or all of the surplus before the former owner is paid.
