ADOR Searches for Maricopa County Unclaimed Property Owners

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

The Arizona Department of Revenue’s (ADOR) Unclaimed Property program has identified more than $45 million that belonged to over 159,000 people with last known addresses in Maricopa County reported last year.

The agency is seeking potential property owners and their families to attempt to return the funds. The largest property due to a single owner being over $596,000.

Unclaimed property generally consists of money due to an individual from sources like old bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, tax refunds, credit balances, rebates, returned deposits and dormant safe deposit boxes. Often property becomes unclaimed because the company that holds the funds has an outdated or the wrong forwarding address for its customer and in some cases, a person passes away with no family members aware of the assets. 

ADOR returns property to owners who provide documentation showing their right to claim the assets. Claimants must include with their claim form a valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license or other applicable identification, and documentation linking them to the owner’s last known address. Claimants must also provide documentation demonstrating a legal right to claim any property listed in another name.

ADOR’s Unclaimed Property program returned $42.5 million to rightful owners in fiscal year 2020 (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020).
