Mortgage foreclosure surplus

N.D. Cent. Code §§ 32-19-10–11 govern judicial mortgage surplus sent to court after debt and costs for ordered distribution. Under § 32-19-10, surplus under $1,000 is forfeited to the county if no court application is filed within 60 days after deposit. For surplus of $1,000 or more, § 32-19-11 allows investment after 90 days for the defendant or successors. The larger amount does not have the same forfeiture rule.

Tax sale surplus

N.D. Cent. Code § 57-28-20 governs excess from county sales of tax-deeded land after tax-lien foreclosure. The county retains excess for 90 days after sale and pays an undisputed owner claim filed in that period under § 57-28-20(3)(a). Disputed claims go to court. Unclaimed funds go to the state unclaimed-property administrator, where they may still be claimed.

Unclaimed funds

N.D. Cent. Code ch. 47-30.2 governs unclaimed property, with claims and decisions under §§ 47-30.2-50–51. Section 47-30.2-50 sets no fixed general initial owner-claim cutoff. Section 47-30.2-53 sets a separate 180-day period for court action after a denied or deemed-denied claim.
