When a property is sold at a Henry County tax sale for more than the delinquent taxes, penalties, and costs owed, the leftover money (called excess funds, surplus funds, or overage) is held in escrow by the Tax Commissioner. Under O.C.G.A. ยง 48-4-5, that money legally belongs to the former owner (or their heirs and certain lienholders), not the county and not the tax-sale buyer. Below is every record from the county's current published list.

How to claim excess funds in Henry County
- Confirm you are on the list. Find your name (or the prior owner's, if you are an heir) in the table above and note the parcel and sale date.
- Write your claim. Prepare a written statement of the basis of your claim: that you were the owner at the time of sale (or an heir or lienholder with a recorded interest).
- Sign and notarize it, and gather a valid government-issued photo ID plus supporting documents (warranty deed, security deed, assignments, power of attorney).
- Submit to the Tax Commissioner at Henry County Tax Commissioner, 140 Henry Parkway, McDonough, GA 30253.
- Respond to any follow-up. Claims are reviewed by counsel; you may be asked for additional documentation before disbursement.
Competing claims? If more than one party claims the same funds, the county may file an interpleader with the Superior Court, and a judge decides. Reasonable attorney fees and court costs are paid from the excess funds first.
Do it yourself, or get help?
Most straightforward owner claims can be filed directly with the county for free, and you never have to pay anyone to get your own money. For estates, tangled liens, out-of-state heirs, or interpleader cases, some people prefer a surplus-recovery specialist or attorney who handles the paperwork for a fee (commonly 10% to 30%).
Frequently asked questions
Are there really unclaimed surplus funds in Henry County, Georgia?
Yes. As of July 14, 2026, the published excess funds list for Henry County shows 123 tax-sale surplus records totaling $2,711,037.33, of which about $2,711,037.33 across 123 records is still unclaimed. Surplus (excess) funds are created when a property sells at a tax sale for more than the taxes and costs owed; the difference legally belongs to the former owner or their heirs.
How do I claim excess funds from a Henry County tax sale?
Request the claim form from the Tax Commissioner. Submit a written, signed, and notarized claim to the Tax Commissioner stating the basis of your claim, along with a valid photo ID, at Henry County Tax Commissioner, 140 Henry Parkway, McDonough, GA 30253. Include supporting documents such as deeds, assignments, or powers of attorney.
How long do I have to claim surplus funds in Georgia?
In Georgia, tax-sale excess funds are generally held by the county for up to 5 years before they transfer to the state unclaimed property division. Claiming sooner is always better.
Do I have to pay a recovery company to claim my money?
No. You can file a claim directly with the county for free. Recovery firms and attorneys can handle the paperwork for a fee (commonly 10% to 30%), which some owners prefer for estate, lien, or interpleader situations, but it is never required.
What does "interpleader filed" mean on the list?
When there are competing or conflicting claims, the county may file an interpleader action with the Superior Court, and a judge decides how the funds are distributed. Reasonable attorney fees and court costs are paid from the excess funds first.
