Greenacres is a midsized city in central Palm Beach County. Plenty of people have called it home at one point or another. And when people move on, money sometimes gets left behind. A checking account that went quiet. A refund check that never arrived. An old insurance payment that missed its target. All of that winds up with the state.

Search every name you have gone by. Maiden names, married names, and any other variations matter. Misspellings are common in financial records. Try a few different versions of your name. If you had a business in Greenacres, search that name too.

Where Greenacres Unclaimed Funds Come From

Chapter 717, Florida Statutes sets the rules. Banks report dormant accounts after five years of no contact from the owner. Employers turn over uncashed paychecks after one year. Insurance companies, brokerage firms, and utility providers all have their own schedules for reporting unclaimed money to the state.

In Greenacres, unclaimed money typically comes from old savings and checking accounts, rental security deposits, refund checks from doctors and dentists along Lake Worth Road or Jog Road, and final wages from employers in the area. Small amounts add up. A $50 deposit here, a $200 refund there, an uncashed check for $150. People often do not realize how much is sitting out there until they actually search.

Court-held money from the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts is another category. Bond deposits, settlement funds, and surplus from tax deed or foreclosure sales on Greenacres properties can go unclaimed. Former homeowners and property investors should pay special attention to this.

Note: Greenacres renters should be especially diligent about searching for old security deposits. Landlords are required to return deposits or provide a written claim within a specific timeframe, and deposits that go uncollected eventually end up with the state.

Florida Treasure Hunt Search Tool

The Florida Treasure Hunt search page is the official state database for finding unclaimed property connected to Greenacres and all Florida locations.

Search results show the property type, how much was reported, and the name of the holder that reported it. You can begin a claim directly from the results. Everything is free from the first search to the final payout.

Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts

The Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts handles all court-held funds for Greenacres cases. Bond money, lawsuit deposits, and surplus from court-ordered property sales are managed through this office in West Palm Beach.

Tax deed surplus is relevant for Greenacres property owners. When property sells at a tax deed auction for more than the amount of back taxes owed, the difference belongs to the former owner. Foreclosure surplus follows the same principle. If you lost property in Greenacres through either process, the Clerk may hold surplus funds or may have already sent them to the state. Check both places.

Greenacres Unclaimed Property Law

Florida holds unclaimed money as custodian. The state does not take ownership. There is no deadline. Funds reported 5 years ago or 25 years ago are equally available to claim. The money stays yours.

The reporting schedule is set by property type. Five years for bank accounts. One year for wages. Three years for safe deposit contents. Fifteen years for travelers checks. Greenacres businesses file their unclaimed property reports with the state by May 1 each year. Before sending money, they should attempt to contact the owner. When that effort does not work, the state takes custody.

New reports arrive annually. A search today might not show anything, but next year could be different. Checking once a year is a smart habit for anyone who has ties to Greenacres.
