Ben,

The Tax Collector, John Fabritiis, is seeking clarification on this request, as he is unclear on your request regarding "tax surplus list", as well as "tax lien sale/mortgage foreclosure auction sale surplus funds that have not been redeemed after auction"

Please contact my office and provide further clarification.

Thank you,
