Indiana Unclaimed Money in Floyd County

The Indiana Attorney General holds more than $914 million across roughly 5.1 million accounts statewide. About one in seven Hoosiers has unclaimed money in the system. Floyd County, which includes the city of New Albany and borders the Louisville metro area, has a substantial and active financial base. Banks, employers, and insurance companies in the area regularly report dormant accounts to the state, meaning Floyd County residents have a real and consistent pipeline of unclaimed property flowing into the Indiana system.

Under IC 32-34-1-19, financial asset holders must transfer dormant property to the state after a dormancy period of three to five years. Under IC 32-34-1-30, your right to claim that property never expires. You can file today, next year, or two decades from now. The state holds the funds permanently and returns them in full when a valid claim is filed.

The official search portal is indianaunclaimed.gov, run by the Attorney General's office. It covers all Indiana counties. More than $1 million is paid out to rightful owners every week across the state.

Note: Because Floyd County borders Kentucky, residents should also search Kentucky's unclaimed property database separately, as the two states run independent systems that do not share data.

Floyd County Treasurer's Office

The Floyd County Treasurer is Steve Burks. The office is in New Albany at the Hauss Square location. The treasurer manages property tax collections, tax sales, and county financial operations. It is not the office that holds unclaimed money from banks, insurance companies, or private employers. Those funds go to the Indiana Attorney General's program. The treasurer's office handles county-level unclaimed items, such as uncashed refund checks, tax overpayment refunds, and other county-issued payments that were never collected by the recipient.

If you believe Floyd County owes you a direct refund of any kind, the treasurer's office is the right contact. For everything else, search the state system at indianaunclaimed.gov. You can reach the Floyd County Treasurer by phone, fax, or email at the New Albany office. The county website at in.gov/counties/floyd has contact information for all county departments.

What Counts as Unclaimed Money

Indiana's unclaimed property program covers far more than just old bank accounts. Under IC 32-34-1-1, any financial asset where the holder has lost contact with the owner for the required dormancy period qualifies as unclaimed property. For Floyd County residents, that includes checking and savings accounts at New Albany banks and credit unions, CDs that were never renewed, and money market accounts that went dormant after a move.

The law also covers wages that were never picked up, stock dividends and mutual fund distributions, insurance policy payouts, security deposits from former landlords, utility refund deposits, and money orders that were never cashed. Safe deposit box contents enter the system when fees go unpaid and the bank cannot locate the owner. About 75 percent of all accounts in the Indiana system hold under $100, but larger amounts are common. The highest single claim ever paid in Indiana was $750,000. All claim sizes are processed the same way, free of charge, with no deduction from the amount paid.

Note: Businesses must report dormant financial assets to the state each year under IC 32-34-1-26, which is what builds and keeps the searchable database current.

Claiming Your Floyd County Property

Filing a claim is free. Do not use a third-party service. The Indiana Attorney General handles all claims directly, and the full amount is returned to you with no fees or deductions.

Here is the process for Floyd County residents:

• Search your name at indianaunclaimed.gov
• Select the matching property record
• Complete the online claim form with your current contact information
• Upload any supporting documents the state requests
• Wait for review and approval from the Attorney General's office
• Receive payment by check or direct deposit

Document requirements depend on the type and size of the claim. Small claims typically need only a government-issued photo ID. Larger claims may require a utility bill, an old bank statement, or other documentation connecting you to the account. Claims for a deceased person's property require a death certificate and legal documentation showing your relationship and authority, such as a will, letters of administration, or court orders from a probate proceeding. The state reviews each submission before issuing payment and may request additional information by email or mail.
