US counties with surplus

Counties hold surplus funds. Owners don't know they exist.

When a property sells at a tax sale or foreclosure auction for more than what's owed, the excess sits in a county account. Former owners rarely find out. That money often goes unclaimed for years, sometimes forever. FundTracer changes that.

How It Works

From county records to recovered funds.

01

Scan County Records

FundTracer pulls surplus fund lists from county offices across North Carolina, structuring raw data into actionable leads with amounts, dates, and property details.

02

Trace the Owners

Automated skip tracing locates former property owners and their heirs using public records, address history, and contact databases. No more manual research.

03

File the Claims

Manage the entire claims pipeline from first contact to county filing. Track status, generate paperwork, and close recoveries with a finder's fee of 10-35%.

The numbers don't lie.

Surplus fund recovery is a proven business model with real money sitting in county accounts across all 50 states. North Carolina alone has hundreds of counties with unclaimed funds.

Established Legal Framework

Every state has laws governing surplus fund recovery and finder's fees. NC statute explicitly allows recovery professionals to earn 10-35% of recovered amounts as compensation.

Growing Industry

Recovery firms are scaling fast. Full Circle Asset Recovery has crossed $8.5M in recoveries and is expanding to 12+ states with proprietary technology.

Technology Gap

Most recovery professionals still pull county lists manually. Existing CRMs start at $99/month but don't automate the data collection, the hardest part of the business.

NC-First Advantage

No existing platform dominates the North Carolina market. 100 counties with surplus funds and local relationships create a defensible starting position.

Money is waiting. Owners are waiting. FundTracer connects them.
