How to Search for Unclaimed Money in Deltona

Go to fltreasurehunt.gov and enter your name. This is the official search tool run by the state of Florida. It is free and open all the time. Type in your name and the system checks every unclaimed account in the state. Results connected to Deltona addresses will show up right away.

Use every name you have gone by. Maiden names, old married names, nicknames, and common misspellings should all be tried. Businesses sometimes report money under a shortened version of your name or a spelling that does not match your records. If you ran a business along Deltona Boulevard or Howland Boulevard, search under the business name too. The state holds personal and business accounts.

Deltona is largely a commuter city. Many residents work in Orlando, Daytona Beach, or Sanford but live in Deltona. That means unclaimed money could be tied to an employer address outside the city but filed under your Deltona home address. The search covers all of Florida at once, so you will see everything regardless of where the holder is located.

Note: Deltona sits right on the Volusia-Seminole county line. Some addresses near the border may be filed under either county. Search under all name and address variations to be safe.

Where Deltona Unclaimed Money Comes From

Chapter 717, Florida Statutes requires businesses and government agencies to report money they cannot return to the rightful owner. Banks report dormant accounts after five years of no activity. Uncashed paychecks become reportable after one year. Insurance payouts, utility deposits, stock dividends, and old refunds all follow their own set timelines.

For Deltona residents, lost funds could come from local banks, credit unions, medical offices, or employers in the broader Central Florida area. A refund from a doctor's office on Providence Boulevard that went to the wrong address. A final paycheck from an employer in the Sanford area you never picked up. An old utility deposit from a rental off Elkcam Boulevard. Security deposits from apartments along Saxon Boulevard. These everyday situations create unclaimed money in Deltona.

Deltona grew rapidly as a planned community, and many residents moved in from out of state. That means some people may also have unclaimed money in their previous home state. Use MissingMoney.com to search multiple states at once.

Volusia County Clerk of Courts

Deltona is in Volusia County. The Volusia County Clerk of Courts in DeLand manages all court-held funds for the area. Cash bonds, lawsuit deposits, and court-ordered payments flow through this office. When parties do not collect their money or move away from Deltona without leaving a current address, those funds go unclaimed.

Tax deed surplus can be significant in Deltona. When a property sells at a tax deed auction for more than the taxes owed, the former owner is entitled to the extra amount. Foreclosure sales generate surplus too under Florida Statute 45.032. Deltona has experienced housing market swings like much of Central Florida, and each cycle leaves behind surplus funds from properties that went to auction. If you once owned property in Deltona that went through a tax sale or foreclosure, contact the Clerk to see if surplus funds exist.

Call the Clerk if you believe court-held funds from a Deltona case might be waiting. Staff can look into records and let you know whether money is still at the courthouse or has already been sent to the state.

How to Claim Unclaimed Money in Deltona

If your name shows up, filing a claim is the next step. Go to fltreasurehunt.gov, click the matching account, and follow the process. You need a government-issued photo ID. If the address on your ID differs from your current Deltona address, include a utility bill or bank statement showing where you live now.

Proof of ownership is what the state cares about most. Having the same name as the account holder alone will not work. The state receives duplicate-name claims regularly. Old bank statements, insurance letters, or pay stubs connecting you to the specific account are what they want. The claim form lists the exact documents needed for each Deltona unclaimed money account you want to recover.

For money that belonged to a deceased Deltona resident, you need a certified death certificate and proof of your right to inherit. The state allows up to 90 days to process a complete claim. Filing is free.

Deltona Unclaimed Property Laws

Florida law protects your right to claim lost money with no deadline. The state never takes ownership of unclaimed funds. It acts as custodian only. Money reported a year ago and money reported decades ago are both available to claim at no cost.

Section 717.102 sets the main rule: intangible property unclaimed for five years is presumed abandoned. Wages follow a shorter one-year rule under Section 717.115. Safe deposit box contents become reportable after three years per Section 717.116. Holders in and around Deltona file their unclaimed property reports by May 1 each year as required by Section 717.117. They must first try to reach the owner. When they cannot, the money goes to the state.

Under Section 116.21, the Volusia County Clerk handles unclaimed court funds on a separate track. Uncashed refunds, vendor checks, and jury payments from Volusia County courts follow their own rules before transfer to the state system.

Search Tips for Deltona Residents

A thorough search improves your chances of finding unclaimed money in Deltona. Keep these pointers in mind:

• Look up deceased relatives who lived in Deltona or nearby cities

Avoiding Scams in Deltona

Be careful with anyone claiming they can help you find unclaimed money. The Florida Department of Financial Services never texts or calls people out of the blue about lost funds. Anyone asking for your Social Security number, bank details, or a fee to release your money is running a scam. The only legitimate way to search and claim is through the official state website. It costs nothing.

Third-party recovery companies charge a percentage of what you get back. You do not need their services. The fltreasurehunt.gov process is built for anyone to use on their own. If you need assistance, call the Division of Unclaimed Property toll-free at 888-258-2253.
