Average recovery time
Governments collect more than they're owed — and rarely volunteer to give it back.
Property tax overpayments, excess proceeds from tax-defaulted land sales, eminent domain surplus after government acquisition, and municipal assessment refunds total billions annually. Government agencies are not incentivized to find payees — they follow statutory notice requirements and move on. Funds sit in government accounts, accrue no interest for the owner, and eventually escheat. SurplusAI monitors government disbursement databases, court orders, and audit reports to surface these overages before they're forfeited.
SurplusAI for Government Recovery
Track
CORTEX monitors county treasurer records, state comptroller databases, eminent domain court filings, and municipal budget reports for excess funds and refund orders.
Verify
Each overage is verified against payment records, assessment rolls, and government disbursement logs — confirming the amount, payee identity, and claim window.
Claim
Recovery specialists file refund requests or court motions in the appropriate government forum — tax court, county treasurer, or state agency — with complete documentation.
Refund
Government issues refund check or ACH transfer. SurplusAI tracks payment status and follows up on delayed disbursements automatically.
Government overage leads for tax professionals and recovery firms
Government overages are systematic — tax assessors make errors, eminent domain settlements create surplus, and municipalities miscalculate fees. SurplusAI makes these errors findable at scale.

Common Questions
Can I claim interest on a tax overpayment?
Yes — most states mandate interest on tax overpayments after a certain period. SurplusAI calculates the full amount owed including statutory interest.
What if the government says my property was correctly assessed?
SurplusAI's tax specialists review assessment methodology and comparable sales data. If the assessment is incorrect, a formal appeal is filed. Many initial assessments are reduced on appeal.
How do eminent domain surplus claims work?
When the government acquires your property for less than its appraised value, you're owed the difference. SurplusAI identifies these gaps and routes to eminent domain attorneys in your state.
