Mortgage foreclosure surplus

A.R.S. § 33-812 governs trustee-sale surplus, paying sale costs, secured debt, qualifying association liens, junior liens by priority, then the trustor or record owner at sale. The trustee must notify the trustor within 15 days and distribute or deposit the balance with the county treasurer within 90 days after sale under § 33-812(B), (K). For deposited proceeds, an interested person applies in the trustee's superior-court action under § 33-812(G); 90 days is the trustee's duty, not an owner cutoff. Sections 33-807 and 33-811 govern the sale and deed, and § 33-811(E) conveys without property redemption.

Tax sale surplus

A.R.S. §§ 42-18204(B) and 42-18231–42-18236 govern a court-ordered excess-proceeds sale after tax-lien foreclosure; § 42-18236 governs distribution. The owner may request the excess-proceeds sale before the tax-foreclosure judgment becomes effective under § 42-18204(B). The three-year period is the earliest time a certificate holder may sue to foreclose, not an owner surplus-claim deadline. If a sale is ordered, the qualified entity distributes proceeds within 90 days, and unclaimed money passes to state unclaimed property under § 42-18236(B). Sections 42-18151–42-18152 and 42-18201–42-18208 address separate redemption and foreclosure mechanics.

Unclaimed funds

A.R.S. Title 44, Chapter 3 governs unclaimed property; § 44-317 governs an owner claim to property delivered to the Department of Revenue. An initial claim may be filed within 35 years after the final day of the fiscal year when the department received the property. The department must allow or deny a claim within 90 days. An allowed claim must be paid within 30 days.
