When a property in Levy County sells at a mortgage-foreclosure or tax-deed auction for more than the debt owed, the leftover — called surplus funds — is held by the Levy County Clerk of Courts and often belongs to you, the former owner.
But there's a catch: the clock is ticking — generally 60 days from the clerk's notice under Fla. Stat. §45.032 — and others comb these records to claim it first. Most owners never even know it exists.

Unlike many larger Florida counties that have moved online, Levy still holds its foreclosure sales in person, every Monday at 11:00 a.m. in the main lobby of the Levy County Courthouse at 355 S. Court Street in Bronson. Because the process is local and in person, contacting the clerk's civil division early can help you confirm dates and understand what to expect.
Bronson, the small county seat, was named for state legislator Isaac H. Bronson and has served as Levy County's seat since the 1870s.
