Measured from the notice mailing date, tracked per case, re-checked every run.

Most dead claims died on day one.
Anchored to the sale date instead of the notice mailing date, a case can look like it has seventy days left when it has fourteen. We calculate from the certificate of service and re-check it daily. Try it with your own dates.
Wrong anchor. Sale date is not the trigger. The mailing of notice is.
Silent expiry. Nobody tells you when a window closes. The list just stops being useful.
Stale status. Funds get disbursed mid-research. Daily re-checks catch it.
Enter the notice mailing date.
Under Fla. Stat. 197.582, the surplus claim window runs from the date the clerk mailed notice — not the sale date. Getting that anchor wrong is the single most common reason a claim arrives dead.
Comfortable runway. This is the band where probate cross-matching and entity research still fit inside the window.
Arithmetic tool only. Statutory periods, tolling and county practice change — verify the controlling deadline with the clerk and your counsel before relying on it. Not legal advice.
Five stages. No guessing in any of them.
Clerk surplus register and the underlying tax deed file, on a daily schedule.
Amounts, names and mailing dates parsed from the original PDFs with page-level spans.
Probate dockets, official records and the property appraiser roll, joined on parcel and name.
Each field re-read against its source. Unsourced values are dropped, never guessed.
Re-checked daily for disbursement, amount revision and change of status.
The constraints we actually hold ourselves to.
No unsourced values. If we cannot cite the document and page, it does not ship.

Amount revisions, disbursements and status changes, caught before they cost analyst hours.
Sarasota, Pasco, Polk, Brevard, Marion and Hillsborough, each with its own adapter.
Sarasota adapter is in build. Counties go live only after fifty cases are run by hand.
We research. Contact, preparation and representation stay with you and your counsel.
Six counties, properly, not sixty badly.
Each county clerk publishes differently. Depth beats breadth: an adapter written against one county's actual document formats outperforms a generic scraper pointed at all sixty-seven.
