When a property is sold due to unpaid property taxes in Hartford, Connecticut, the sale may produce more money than the amount required to pay the taxes, interest, and legal costs.
The remaining funds are known as surplus funds or excess proceeds, and in many cases these funds legally belong to the former property owner or their heirs.
Each year, significant amounts of surplus funds remain unclaimed simply because property owners or family members are unaware the funds exist.
