About Calhoun County Excess Funds

Calhoun County does not publish its tax sale excess funds list online. To find out whether the county is holding excess funds (also called surplus funds, tax sale overage, or excess proceeds) on a property, you must contact the Tax Commissioner's office directly using the information above.

When a property in Calhoun County is sold at a tax sale for more than the delinquent taxes, penalties, interest, and costs owed, the leftover money is held by the county until a valid claim is filed and approved.

Who Can Claim Calhoun County Surplus Funds?

The former owner of record at the time of the tax sale
Heirs of a deceased former owner (probate documentation may be required)
Mortgage companies or other secured lienholders of record
Other parties with a legally recognized interest in the property

How to File a Claim

Claims for Calhoun County excess funds must be made in writing to the Tax Commissioner and supported by proof of identity and proof of interest in the property. When competing claims are filed, or when ownership is unclear, the Tax Commissioner may file an interpleader action in Superior Court and let a judge decide who is entitled to the money.

Because Georgia law sets strict deadlines and notice requirements, working with an attorney can help you avoid losing your claim to a procedural mistake or to a third-party claimant.
