The surplus catalog, claimable-first.
Tax-sale surplus is deadline-driven and the rules change state to state — which is exactly how recovery agents lose claims. LienSuite puts the nationwide overage catalog in one place, sorted so the claimable, near-deadline opportunities come first, each with its filing deadline and the state's claim rules attached. No county lists, no scoring suite to pay for — just the surplus product.
$49.99/mo, monthly billing. Cancel anytime — no contract, no trial needed.
Stop pulling overages county-by-county.
The surplus data is scattered across thousands of county portals and records requests. LienSuite maintains the nationwide catalog so you open one surface instead of chasing fifty different ones — and the claimable, near-deadline records float to the top.
Deadlines and filing rules, attached.
Surplus is a deadline business and every state files differently. Each record carries its claim deadline and the state's rules, with a per-claim pipeline from unclaimed to in-progress to claimed — so you work the clock instead of getting beaten by it.
$49.99. Surplus only.
You're a recovery agent, not a tax-deed investor — so you shouldn't pay for county lists and a scoring suite you'll never open. This tier unlocks just the surplus product, with 25 skip traces a month included and heir research free. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
What's included
Everything you need to find, prioritize, and file surplus claims — and nothing you don't.
- Nationwide tax-sale surplus / excess-proceeds records
- Claimable-first sort — near-deadline, right-sized opportunities first
- Claim deadlines + state-by-state filing rules on every record
- Per-claim pipeline: unclaimed → in progress → claimed
- 25 skip traces/month, then pay-as-you-go (~$0.10/lookup)
- Heir research — free, no per-lookup charge
Excess Proceeds is surplus-only — it does not include county delinquent-tax lists, deal scoring, or the investor map/CRM. Already on Pro? The surplus tracker is included in Pro at no extra charge — no separate subscription needed.
LienSuite vs. the alternatives
How a purpose-built surplus tool compares to per-state list vendors, the generic CRM, and pulling overages yourself.
| LienSuite | Surplus list vendors | DIY / county records | Generic CRM / skip tools | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surplus / overage records | Nationwide catalog, one place | Per-state lists, sold repeatedly | You pull each county by hand | Not included |
| Sorted claimable-first | Near-deadline, right-sized first | Raw dump, you triage | Manual, in a spreadsheet | n/a |
| Claim deadlines + filing rules | Attached per record, by state | Rarely included | You research each state | No |
| Skip trace | 25/mo included, then ~$0.10 | Separate add-on | Separate tool + hours | Add-on credits |
| Heir research | Free — no per-lookup charge | Add-on / not offered | Manual genealogy | Not offered |
| Per-claim pipeline tracking | Built in, per claim | No | Spreadsheet reminders | Generic CRM stages |
| Pay only for surplus | Yes — $49.99/mo, surplus only | Per-list fees stack up | Your nights and weekends | Full suite required |
The overages are public record. Finding them, ranking them, and filing before the deadline isn't.
Excess proceeds software questions, answered.
What is the best software for tax sale surplus and excess proceeds recovery?
For recovery agents specifically, you want a tool built around the claim — not a generalist real-estate database. LienSuite Excess Proceeds is a standalone $49.99/mo tier that gives you nationwide tax-sale surplus / excess-proceeds records sorted claimable-first, with the filing deadline and the state's claim rules attached, plus per-claim pipeline tracking, skip tracing, and free heir research. It is scoped to the surplus product only, so you are not paying for county delinquent lists, deal scoring, or the investor map/CRM you do not use.
Where can I get a list of tax sale overages or excess proceeds?
LienSuite maintains a nationwide catalog of tax-sale surplus / excess-proceeds records. Instead of pulling them county-by-county through portals and public-records requests, you get them in one place, sorted so the claimable, near-deadline, right-sized opportunities surface first — each with its filing deadline and the state-by-state claim rules that govern it.
How much does excess proceeds recovery software cost?
The standalone Excess Proceeds tier is $49.99/month, monthly, cancel anytime — no annual contract and no trial. It includes 25 skip traces per month (then pay-as-you-go at about $0.10 per lookup) and free heir research. If you also want the full tax-deed investor suite, surplus is included in Pro at $79/mo — so you only pay for Excess Proceeds standalone if surplus is all you need.
Do I need the full investor platform to work surplus deals?
No. Most platforms make you buy the whole investor suite to reach the surplus data. LienSuite breaks it out: the Excess Proceeds tier unlocks only the surplus surface — the records, claimable-first sorting, deadlines, filing rules, per-claim tracking, skip tracing, and heir research — without county delinquent lists, deal scoring, or the investor CRM. It is built for recovery agents, not investors.
Does it include skip tracing and heir research?
Yes. Every month includes 25 skip-trace lookups to find the current owner or claimant's phone, email, and mailing address; beyond that it is pay-as-you-go (about $0.10 per lookup) against your credit wallet. Heir research — tracing the rightful claimant when the owner is deceased — is free, with no per-lookup charge.
Does it track claim deadlines and state filing rules?
Yes. Surplus claims are deadline-driven and the rules differ by state, which is where most of the money is lost. Each record carries its claim deadline, and the surface includes the state-by-state filing rules, with a per-claim pipeline so you can move each opportunity from unclaimed to in-progress to claimed without it slipping past the window.
