Find Unclaimed Money in Clark County
Clark County unclaimed money is held by the Indiana Attorney General's Unclaimed Property Division until the owner files a claim. Funds come from dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten insurance proceeds, and other financial assets left behind when contact is lost. Jeffersonville and the surrounding Clark County area are part of the greater Louisville metro, meaning many residents have worked or banked on both sides of the river. If you have lived in the area, search Indiana's free database now. It takes about five minutes.
Clark County Quick Facts
Indiana Unclaimed Money in Clark County
The Indiana Attorney General holds more than $914 million in unclaimed property spread across approximately 5.1 million accounts statewide. About one in seven Hoosiers has unclaimed money in the system right now. Clark County sits along the Ohio River directly across from Louisville, Kentucky, and the county's population has grown steadily. That growth means more financial activity and, in turn, more potential for unclaimed accounts linked to former addresses and old employers in the Jeffersonville area.
Under IC 32-34-1-19, holders of dormant financial assets must turn them over to the state after a dormancy period that is typically three to five years. Once the state takes custody under IC 32-34-1-30, your right to claim never expires. You can file tomorrow or ten years from now. The state holds the property for you indefinitely, with no fees charged against the balance.
The main search portal is indianaunclaimed.gov, run by the Attorney General's office. It covers all Indiana counties. The state sends more than $1 million back to owners every week. Clark County residents near the Kentucky border should also check Kentucky's unclaimed property database separately, since the two states run independent systems.
Note: Search former names, maiden names, and deceased relatives' names to find additional property that might not show under your current legal name.
Clark County Treasurer's Office
The Clark County Treasurer is R Monty Snelling. The office is located in Jeffersonville and handles property taxes, county collections, and local government financial operations. The treasurer does not hold the unclaimed money that came from private banks, insurance companies, or employers. Those assets go to the Indiana Attorney General's program. What the treasurer's office does handle is county-level refunds, such as overpaid property taxes, uncashed jury duty fees, and similar local payments that were never collected.
If you believe Clark County itself owes you a refund of any kind, contact the treasurer's office in Jeffersonville directly. For everything else, including bank accounts, wages, insurance proceeds, and investment dividends, search the state's free tool at indianaunclaimed.gov. You can also reach the treasurer by email at msnelling@clarkcounty.in.gov. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closing for lunch from noon to 1:00 p.m.

What Counts as Unclaimed Money
Indiana's unclaimed property law is broader than most people expect. Under IC 32-34-1-1, any financial asset where the holder has lost contact with the owner for the required dormancy period becomes unclaimed property. For Clark County residents, this includes savings and checking accounts at local banks, certificates of deposit that were never redeemed, and credit union share accounts that went dormant.
Other common property types include uncollected wages, stock dividends, insurance policy proceeds, security deposits from landlords or utilities, refund checks from retailers, and money orders that were never cashed. Safe deposit box contents can also enter the system if box fees go unpaid and the bank cannot locate the owner. Roughly 75 percent of all state accounts hold less than $100, but larger amounts surface regularly. The highest single Indiana claim ever paid out was $750,000. Whether your claim is $15 or $15,000, the search and filing process is the same and always free.
Claiming Your Clark County Property
The claim process costs nothing. Never pay a third-party service to search or file for you. The Indiana Attorney General handles all claims directly, and no fee is taken from the amount you recover.
Here is how the process works for Clark County residents:
- Go to indianaunclaimed.gov and search your name
- Find and select the property record that matches you
- Start the online claim and enter your current contact information
- Upload or mail any supporting documents the state requests
- Wait for the Attorney General's office to verify and approve your claim
- Receive payment by check or direct deposit
Document requirements vary based on the property amount and type. Small claims often need only a government-issued photo ID. Larger claims may require a utility bill, old bank statement, or similar proof linking you to the account. Claims filed on behalf of a deceased person require a death certificate and legal documentation proving your relationship, such as a will, letters of administration, or probate court documents. The Attorney General's office reviews every claim before payment is issued.
