Claiming surplus funds in Strafford County
Surplus from sales in Strafford 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.
N.H. Rev. Stat. § 479:25 governs power-of-sale foreclosure procedure, while the mortgage and New Hampshire case law establish surplus accounting and former-owner entitlement subject to junior interests. Section 479:25 sets no fixed post-sale owner surplus application cutoff. Its one-year-and-one-day limit on certain notice or sale-conduct challenges concerns sale validity. That challenge period is not a general surplus claim deadline.
