Claiming surplus funds in Cecil County
Surplus from sales in Cecil 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.
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.
