Choose the Utah route that created the funds

Different statutes, counties, courts, notices, and custody transitions are not interchangeable.

Salt Lake only

Salt Lake County publishes a local pre-transfer record

Salt Lake says it returns excess to the original owner and sends uncontacted funds to State Unclaimed Property after ninety days; that timing is Salt Lake practice, not a statewide claim bar.

Duchesne only

Duchesne County publishes its own local claim form

Duchesne requests claimant, property, identity, representation, heirship, signatures, notarization, and county-Treasurer submission for its May tax-sale surplus.

Record-first workflow

Trace the Utah custody sequence before filing

Verify the live official record at every step; this orientation does not decide a claimant's rights.

01

Confirm a section 59-2-1351.1 county tax sale

Collect the county sale record, accepted bid, statutory charges, excess calculation, county custody, and any unclaimed-property transfer.

02

Treat ninety days as Salt Lake custody timing

For a Salt Lake parcel, verify whether the county still holds the funds or has transferred them; do not present ninety days as loss of the statewide claim.

03

Use Duchesne's form only for a Duchesne record

Confirm the current county form and required evidence before submitting; other counties may use different mechanics.

No unsupported form or deadline

Prepare the records for this Utah lane

Use only dates and filing mechanics tied to the confirmed sale type, statute, custodian, and retained source.

  • Which retained Utah source and sale lane match the record.
  • Which public case, parcel, notice, accounting, or custody records are still needed.
  • Which competing interests or missing authority require legal or source-completion review.

What this Utah guide cannot legally decide

  • Whether a claimant is legally entitled to all or any part of the funds.
  • Whether a lien, assignment, estate, heir, successor, creditor, or other interest has priority.
