When a property in Osceola 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 Osceola 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.

The Clerk conducts foreclosure sales online at osceola.realforeclose.com, where you must register and place a deposit before bidding, and the successful bidder posts 5% of the final bid with the balance due the same day. Because the court schedules a firm sale date after a final judgment, reviewing your file with the Clerk's office and confirming your auction date early is the most useful thing you can do.
Osceola County, created in 1887, is named for the Seminole leader Osceola and has a long history as Florida cattle-ranching country within what is now the Orlando metropolitan area.
