Claiming surplus funds in Kootenai County
Surplus from sales in Kootenai 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.
Idaho Code § 45-1507(3) governs nonjudicial trustee-sale surplus, paying expenses, the secured obligation and qualifying junior liens before the grantor or successor. Section 45-1507 sets no fixed grantor filing period for residual proceeds. Judicial foreclosure follows separate court-supervised rules in Title 6. Section 45-1508 eliminates post-sale deed-of-trust redemption, not the right to claim surplus.
