Arizona Unclaimed Property Overview

Arizona holds millions of dollars in unclaimed property waiting to be returned to rightful owners. The Grand Canyon State holds substantial unclaimed property from its growing population, including utility deposits, insurance proceeds, and payroll checks from the Phoenix metro area's booming economy. The Arizona Department of Revenue is responsible for safeguarding and returning these assets to their owners.

Arizona uses the MissingMoney (NOT KAPS) for its unclaimed property database. Property typically becomes dormant after 3 years of no owner activity, at which point holders must report it to the state by November 1 each year.
