You will get the overages (if any) after all the following are paid: the costs of the sale/auction (they can take this off the top); the unpaid taxes, including interest and penalties; and any mortgages, HELOCs, or other liens (e.g. by anyone who had sued you but not been paid by you, so they put a lien on your home; or any contractor liens). Once all those are paid, if anything is left, it is yours.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
