Claiming surplus funds in Hawaii County
Surplus from sales in Hawaii County 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.
Haw. Rev. Stat. ch. 667 governs mortgage foreclosure, and § 667-10 directs remaining surplus to the mortgagor or other entitled person after applying proceeds. The procedure depends on the judicial or power-of-sale part that applies. Section 667-10 sets no fixed deadline to request remaining proceeds; timing depends on the sale record and applicable claim or limitations law. Property redemption and foreclosure challenges concern the property or sale, not a universal surplus cutoff.
