Your state counties owe an estimated $2.1 billion in surplus fund payouts to former homeowners.

In the case of Tyler v. Hennepin County in 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that “home equity theft,” the practice of counties keeping surplus funds after a foreclosure sale, is unconstitutional. This established that when a county sells a foreclosed home for more than what was owed, that extra money legally belongs to the former homeowner. Until now, most families never found out they were owed.
