How to Search for Casselberry Unclaimed Money

Start at the Florida Treasure Hunt search page. This is the official state tool. It is free. Enter your name and the system checks every unclaimed account in Florida, including those linked to Casselberry addresses. Results come up in seconds.

Try all the names you have used. Maiden names, former married names, and nicknames can all pull up results. Casselberry has a stable residential base, but people who lived in the area years ago and moved may still have accounts tied to their old address. Misspellings in records are common. Try slight variations. A couple of extra searches take no time at all and might turn up something you would have missed otherwise.

Do not skip the older records. The state does not delete anything. Accounts from the 1990s and before are still sitting in the database. One out of every five Florida residents has unclaimed money. Casselberry residents should check because the odds are real.

Where Casselberry Lost Funds Come From

Chapter 717, Florida Statutes requires businesses and government agencies to report money they cannot give back to the rightful owner. Dormant bank accounts go to the state after five years without activity. Uncashed paychecks become unclaimed after just one year under Section 717.115. Insurance payouts, utility deposits, security deposits, and stock dividends each follow their own reporting schedule.

Casselberry has retail centers, restaurants, medical offices, and other businesses that employ local residents. Any of these could have reported unclaimed money under your name. A final paycheck from a job along SR 436. A utility deposit refund that went to an old address. A security deposit from a Casselberry apartment. These things happen all the time and create unclaimed accounts in the state database.

Forgotten safe deposit box contents get turned over after three years per Section 717.116. Cash, jewelry, and personal documents left at a Casselberry bank branch are inventoried by the state and held until someone claims them.

Note: Casselberry residents who worked in Orlando, Winter Park, or other parts of the metro should search under those employer names, since accounts are tied to the address on file at the time of reporting.

Seminole County Court Funds for Casselberry

Casselberry is in Seminole County. The Seminole County Clerk of Courts in Sanford handles all court-related funds for the area. Cash bonds, lawsuit deposits, and court-ordered payments go through this office. When people do not collect their funds or leave Casselberry without updating their address, those funds remain unclaimed.

Tax deed surplus is worth checking. If property in Casselberry sold at a tax deed auction for more than the taxes owed, the former owner is entitled to the surplus. Foreclosure sales create surplus under Florida Statute 45.032 as well. If you once owned property in Casselberry that was sold through a tax deed or foreclosure, the Clerk may hold surplus funds or may have already transferred them to the state. Either way, you can still claim them.

Contact the Clerk to ask about court-held funds from a Casselberry case. The staff can look it up and let you know whether the money is still at the courthouse or has been sent to the state system.
