After a tax foreclosure sale, counties hold excess proceeds that legally belong to former property owners. Most people never find out. We find them, file the claim, and get the money back.
We research county records and court filings to identify surplus funds from tax foreclosure sales tied to your former property.
We confirm your eligibility, gather the required documentation, and ensure no competing claims will block your recovery.
We prepare and submit your legal claim to the court or county, handling all correspondence until your funds are released.
In 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Tyler v. Hennepin County that retaining surplus funds from tax foreclosures is an unconstitutional taking of property.
That means if your property was sold for more than what you owed, the excess belongs to you. Period.
If you lost a property to a tax foreclosure sale and the property sold for more than what was owed in back taxes, liens, and fees, you likely have surplus funds waiting.
EquityBack exists to close the gap between forgotten funds and the people who earned them. No one should lose their equity just because they didn't know it was there.
