Claiming surplus funds in Kodiak Island Borough
Surplus from sales in Kodiak Island Borough is held by the county office that conducted the sale, typically the clerk, auditor, or treasurer. We confirm the holding office before anything is filed.
AS 34.20.070–.100 governs a nonjudicial deed-of-trust sale, and AS 34.20.080(f) directs payment to the beneficiary, then subordinate recorded interests by priority, then the trustor if still owner or the recorded successor. AS 34.20.080 sets no separate surplus-claim deadline; the trustee distributes proceeds after delivering the deed. Nonjudicial redemption is generally unavailable unless the deed of trust provides it under AS 34.20.090. Judicial foreclosure follows AS 09.45.170–.220, with separate property-redemption rights under AS 09.45.190 and 09.35.250.
