How Do I Know Whether Surplus Funds Exist for My Property?

Step 1 – Find the Auction Bid

Locate the sheriff’s sale ledger for the county where the property was sold. Most counties post weekly PDF reports; others require a phone request.

Step 2 – Pull the Final Judgment Amount

Search the foreclosure docket (F‑ number) on the New Jersey Courts eCourts portal. The judgment or payoff figure is listed on the Final Judgment.

Step 3 – Simple Math

If the auction bid exceeds the payoff + approved costs, the difference is surplus.

Bid $412,500 − Payoff $398,900 = Surplus $13,600
