Total Unclaimed Surplus Refunds

Mortgage foreclosure surplus

Pa. R. Civ. P. 3136 governs judicial mortgage sheriff-sale distribution under a proposed schedule after the exception period. Written exceptions must be filed within ten days after the schedule is filed under Rule 3136(d). A claimant seeking a payment-priority change should act within that period. Property-redemption rules concern title, not surplus distribution.

Tax sale surplus

For Real Estate Tax Sale Law counties, § 205(d)–(f), 72 P.S. § 5860.205, governs tax-sale proceeds and the owner's balance, while § 612 concerns judicial sale. Under RETSL § 205(f), a former-owner balance must be claimed within three years of sale or goes to taxing districts. Philadelphia and Allegheny County use distinct municipal-claim and tax-lien procedures. Their property-redemption periods are separate from the RETSL surplus deadline.

Unclaimed funds

72 P.S. §§ 1301.1 et seq. govern unclaimed property, with owner claims handled by Pennsylvania Treasury. The Act sets no fixed general initial owner-claim cutoff for Treasury-held property. The three-year RETSL period is a separate tax-sale rule before distribution to taxing districts.
