Q Who may ask for the remittance of the excess bid at a tax sale?

A The owner at the time of the tax sale is entitled to the amount of the excess bid following the expiration of the redemption period. If the property is subject to a tax deed from a prior year’s tax sale, the holder of that deed may ask for and receive the excess bid amount. (Attorney General’s Opinion Teeuwissen, March 25, 2016)
