Frequently Asked Questions
Practitioner inquiries, statutory coverage, data schema, and subscription terms.
Which counties and judicial circuits are covered, and can custom jurisdictions be added?
Surplus Docket actively monitors major metropolitan circuits across Florida, Texas, and Georgia in our Tri-State Core Feed, as well as North Carolina, Tennessee, and California in our Six-State National Suite. Surplus Docket monitors judicial circuits and counties across Florida, Texas, and Georgia in our Tri-State Core Feed, as well as North Carolina, Tennessee, and California in our National Suite, subject to official county list availability. Active counties are updated daily based on records in the current feed. If your firm needs custom county filtering, dedicated circuit tracking, or custom delivery routing, we configure these at zero setup or onboarding cost.
What types of surplus proceeds are covered in the docket feeds?
Our feeds index both administrative Tax Deed Surplus (such as Fla. Stat. § 197.582, Tex. Tax Code § 34.04, and O.C.G.A. § 48-4-5) and Circuit Court Judicial Mortgage Foreclosure Surplus deposited into court registries (such as Fla. Stat. § 45.032). Each docket explicitly states the proceeding type, governing statutory authority, court case number, and exact statutory claim deadline window.
What specific fields and record schema are included with each docket record?
Every docket record delivers a comprehensive schema engineered for asset recovery practitioners: Former Owner / Titleholder of Record (Owner_Name), Entity Type (Entity_Type: Individual, Estate / Deceased, or Institutional), Probate / Heir Search Indicator (Heir_Search_Recommended), Uniform Case or Tax Deed Number (Case_or_TaxDeed_No), County-Standardized Parcel ID / Folio (Parcel_ID), Property Address (Property_Address), Property Type (Property_Type), Verified Surplus Balance (Surplus_Balance_USD), Statutory Fee Rate & Estimated Legal Recovery (Statutory_Fee_Rate, Est_Finder_Fee_USD), Sale Date (Sale_Date), Days Remaining to File (Days_Remaining_To_Claim), Statutory Claim Window (Statutory_Deadline_Window), Governing Statute (Governing_Statute), and a direct link to the originating official Court Clerk Verification Portal (Clerk_Verification_URL).
How frequently are dockets updated, and does the feed include older unclaimed balances or only new sales?
Our ingestion pipeline processes public court and clerk records daily and delivers fresh dockets every court business morning (Monday through Friday) by 7:00 AM EST. The feed delivers both newly published auction surplus disbursements and active, unencumbered rolling registry balances that remain within their valid statutory claim periods. Registry accounts that have lapsed past their statutory deadline or have been extinguished by prior lienholder claims are systematically audited and purged daily.
Can our firm inspect a sample docket export before subscribing?
Yes. Prospective subscribers can test our interactive Live Docket Preview directly on this page to search, filter, and export sample records in real time. You can also download our Sample Data Export (.csv) to evaluate the schema, column structure, and clerk verification URLs before initiating your evaluation.
What subscription options are available, and can records be imported into firm case management systems (Clio, Filevine, MyCase)?
Annual subscriptions include 2 months free (~17% discount): $2,490/year for the Tri-State Core Feed (FL, TX, GA) or $4,490/year for the Six-State + REST API Suite, backed by a 14-day money-back satisfaction guarantee. For law practice management, every daily dispatch automatically generates pre-mapped, 1-click import CSVs configured specifically for Clio Manage (Clio_Matter_Import.csv) and Filevine (Filevine_Lead_Import.csv), alongside clean UTF-8 CSV, formatted Excel (.xlsx), and JSON files compatible with MyCase, Smokeball, or custom SQL databases.
Are these current records, sample records, or exclusive leads?
Subscribers receive records organized from public court and clerk sources, delivered each court business morning (Monday through Friday). The docket preview on this page displays sample records for evaluation purposes. Records are not exclusive—they are derived from publicly accessible sources available to any practitioner.
What does a screening or review status actually mean?
The feed excludes institutional and bank-owned records and flags estates for heir search. "Source linked" means the record references an official county registry list. Independent recorded lien review is the firm's responsibility, as Surplus Docket does not search recorded liens in public deed registries.
Which counties and proceeding types are included in my plan?
The Tri-State Core plan covers Florida, Texas, and Georgia. The Six-State + API plan adds North Carolina, Tennessee, and California. Coverage varies by county and proceeding type within each state—review the coverage section for specific county and source details.
How current are the records, and how can I inspect their sources?
Feed files are delivered each court business morning at 7:00 AM Eastern Time. Record currency depends on the underlying clerk or court source publishing schedule, which varies by jurisdiction. Each record includes a source reference and, where available, a direct link to the originating public registry for independent verification.
When does the evaluation convert, and how is billing managed?
The 7-day practice evaluation includes full access to the Tri-State Core feed. On day 8, subscription billing begins at $249/month unless cancelled in the Stripe billing portal. Subscriptions are billed month-to-month with no long-term contracts.
Use Limitations
Surplus Docket organizes public-record information for professional review. Records may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded. The platform does not provide legal advice or determine claimant entitlement, lien priority, or recoverability.
