Overage Finder's Laws by State

Melissa B.

Posted

Hi Guys,

Several years ago, I heard about tax overages after learning about it through a tax lien program and would like to start applying this strategy. 

1) How do I find out whether there are specific statues or finder's laws for overages or excess proceeds in my state? Who would I need to contact to find out more information?

I don't really want to contact the county if I don't have to...

An attorney, perhaps?

Thanks in advance!

Melissa

It's an old, old game with lots of competition.  Each state has different laws.  Talk to the local tax offices--why would you not?
