Surplus Funds in Gaston County
Gaston County is located in the Charlotte metropolitan area, with Gastonia as its county seat. The county has a strong manufacturing heritage and a growing population as residents seek more affordable housing within commuting distance of Charlotte. Surplus funds from Gaston County foreclosure sales are held by the Gaston County Clerk of Superior Court at the courthouse in Gastonia. Gaston County's real estate market has benefited from Charlotte's growth spillover, with property values rising in recent years — meaning that older foreclosure cases may have produced surplus funds that former owners are unaware of.
