Mortgage foreclosure surplus

Md. Rule 14-216 governs mortgage-surplus claims, while Md. Code, Real Property § 7-105 and the rest of Rule 14 govern sale and audit. A person claiming proceeds may apply after sale and before final ratification of the auditor's account. That audit deadline is the filing marker. The separate property-redemption rule does not replace it.

Tax sale surplus

Md. Code, Tax–Property § 14-818(a)(4)–(6) governs excess tax-sale bid balances, using a uniform county claim process without a court order unless payment is disputed and requiring owner notice within 90 days after deed. Section 14-818 sets no single short filing period. For an unknown or unlocated person, § 14-819 requires county retention for at least three years; after court-ordered forfeiture, an entitled person may seek court-ordered repayment within seven more years. Track the deed, notice and any forfeiture order.

Unclaimed funds

Md. Code, Commercial Law tit. 17, subtit. 3 governs abandoned property, with claims to the State Comptroller under § 17-318. Section 17-318 sets no fixed initial owner-claim cutoff. A claim not acted on for six months is deemed denied, with further action under § 17-320. County-retained tax-sale proceeds have separate rules.
