Claim deadline calculator

For Florida tax deed surplus, lienholders must claim within 120 days of the Clerk's notice (F.S. §197.582(5) (opens in a new tab)). The former owner can claim later, until the Clerk reports the money as unclaimed.

Date on the Clerk's notice of surplus (it starts the 120 days, not the auction date)

Florida presumes court-held money unclaimed about one year after it becomes payable (F.S. §717.113 (opens in a new tab)); after that it is claimed free from the State at ClaimYourCashFL.gov (opens in a new tab), where we take no fee.
