Golden Horizon Asset Recovery

Florida County Surplus Ledger

Dashboard

Florida county tax deed surplus portfolio snapshot — Lee County active, Brevard County queued next.

GHAR LLC formation is the standing blocker on every case below. New Mexico accepted the name "Golden Horizon Asset Recovery LLC" on 2026-08-14 (resubmitted after an initial rejection) — final approval still ~15-18 days out. Nothing gets sent to any claimant until that clears.
Quiet title pattern — 3 of 6 active leads hit the identical outcome. Von Looz/Gairing, Sole Homes Realty, and Bibas were each already sued to quiet title by a different plaintiff shortly after their tax sale, defaulted, and lost their interest in the property before GHAR ever reached out. Treat this as a standing risk on Cape Coral/Lehigh Acres vacant lots, not a one-off — always run the Official Records check (both entity name AND individual owner name) before investing time in outreach.

Active Cases

Central case database — Florida county tax deed surplus.

Estimated Fee and Client Net recalculate automatically from Gross Amount × Fee %. Standard fee set at 35% across all active cases. "On Hold — Legal Review" means a title/ownership complication was found and needs GHAR's attorney's read before any contact; "Ready — Awaiting GHAR Formation" means the case itself is clean and the only blocker is the LLC.

County Directory

Lee County fully researched as of August 2026. Additional Florida counties queued for research.

Florida tax deed surplus is claimed administratively through the Clerk of Courts — no court motion or attorney needed unless a dispute, interpleader, or competing claim arises. That's structurally different from judicial-foreclosure states like Ohio.

Document Checklist

Track completion of all required claimant and county documents.

Assignment of Interest (GHAR-FL2) must always be paired with the claimant's own signed, notarized Affidavit of Claim — the county's own instructions say an assignee's paperwork alone is not sufficient. GHAR never signs or is notarized on either document, only the claimant does.

Fee Split Calculator

Models your finder's fee against a county-confirmed gross amount.

Case Inputs
Confirmed surplus amount per the county Clerk of Courts
Standard rate is 35% — verify against any applicable Florida fee-cap statute before finalizing
Leave blank — Florida's administrative process normally needs no attorney unless a dispute/interpleader arises
Florida is administrative, not judicial:

Tax deed surplus is claimed directly with the Clerk of Courts via a notarized Affidavit of Claim — no court filing or attorney needed for a routine, uncontested case. An attorney only enters the picture if a dispute, interpleader, or competing claim (like a quiet title judgment) is found — see the 3 On Hold — Legal Review cases in Active Cases.
