Claiming surplus funds in Piatt County
Surplus from sales in Piatt 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.
735 ILCS 5/15-1512 controls judicial mortgage-sale distribution, with surplus held by the selling officer until court order and notice to parties, and possible eventual forfeiture to the State. Section 15-1507 governs the sale and its confirmation, not surplus distribution. Section 15-1512 sets no single fixed owner filing period; seek a distribution order in the foreclosure case while funds are held. Property redemption under § 15-1603 is a separate right.
