Surplus Funds Law in Nebraska

These statewide rules govern how surplus funds are handled in Sarpy County and every other Nebraska county. Verify the current deadline before you file:

Sale type
Tax lien state — liens are sold; surplus arises at later deed/foreclosure stages.
Who holds the funds
The tax-deed grantee pays the surplus directly to the previous owner within 30 days of recording the tax deed (Neb. Rev. Stat. 77-1838(2)); where the certificate holder instead judicially forecloses the tax lien (treated like a real estate mortgage foreclosure, 77-1902), proceeds are distributed under 77-1915 and any surplus after costs and taxes is applied as provided for surplus in mortgage foreclosures (77-1916).
Finder-fee rules
No tax-surplus-specific cap; general 10% cap on professional finders' fees for property presumed abandoned/unclaimed and held by the State Treasurer, with mandatory disclosures to the owner and no locator record access until 24 months after the property is reported (Neb. Rev. Stat. 69-1317).
Local terminology
In Nebraska, surplus funds are often called “surplus”.
Records law
