Sometimes when a property in Union County is sold at a tax auction, it brings in more money than was owed in taxes. That extra cash is called excess funds—and it belongs to the former owner or someone with a legal claim.
To start a claim, Union County has a Claim Form you can fill out, which includes fields for your name, parcel number, sale date, and amount. It needs to be signed under oath and notarized before you turn it in Union City.
How the County Process Works
You’ll need to:
-
Download and fill out the claim form.
-
Provide proof that you have a legal right to the money.
-
Submit it according to the county’s requirements (likely in person or by mail).
It works, but it can be slow. You also don’t get a neat, sortable list of properties with excess funds—you’d have to gather and organize that info yourself.
