Ormond Beach Unclaimed Funds

Unclaimed money in Ormond Beach could be waiting for you or a family member in the state database. Lost bank accounts, forgotten paychecks, old insurance payments, and uncashed refunds get reported to Florida when businesses cannot return them to the rightful owner. The state holds these funds until someone files a claim. With over 44,000 residents, Ormond Beach has a meaningful number of unclaimed accounts connected to local addresses. Searching is free and takes just a few minutes through the official state website.

Search for Unclaimed Money in Ormond Beach

Go to fltreasurehunt.gov and type in your name. This is the official state search tool. It is free and available any time. The system checks every reported unclaimed account in Florida. Results tied to Ormond Beach addresses will show up if there is a match.

Use all the names you have gone by. Maiden names, former married names, nicknames, and common misspellings all appear in records. If you owned a business along Granada Boulevard or near the Ormond Beach beachside area, search the business name too. Both personal and commercial unclaimed accounts are in the system.

Ormond Beach sits right next to Daytona Beach, and addresses close to the border can end up filed under either city. Run your search under both to be thorough. People who have lived in Ormond Beach for decades and people who just moved here both have reason to search. Long-time residents accumulate dormant accounts over the years, and newer residents may have money under a previous address.

Where Ormond Beach Unclaimed Funds Originate

Chapter 717, Florida Statutes requires businesses and government agencies to turn over money they cannot return to the owner. Banks report dormant accounts after five years. Wages become reportable after one year. Insurance benefits, utility deposits, stock dividends, and refunds all follow their own schedules before entering the state system.

For Ormond Beach residents, lost funds could come from local banks, medical offices, retail shops, or employers. A refund from a dentist's office on West Granada that got sent to the wrong address. An old paycheck from a seasonal job on the beachside that you forgot to cash. A utility deposit from an old rental off Nova Road. These everyday things are what create unclaimed money in Ormond Beach.

Note: Ormond Beach has a large number of seasonal residents and snowbirds. If you split time between Ormond Beach and another state, search under all your addresses. Unclaimed money can be tied to any of them.

Volusia County Clerk of Courts

Ormond Beach is in Volusia County. The Volusia County Clerk of Courts in DeLand handles all court-held funds for the area. Bond money, lawsuit deposits, and court-ordered payments flow through this office. When parties fail to collect or move from Ormond Beach without leaving updated contact information, the funds go unclaimed.

Tax deed surplus is another source. When an Ormond Beach property sells at a tax deed auction for more than the owed taxes, the excess goes to the former owner. Foreclosure sales create surplus under Florida Statute 45.032 as well. If you once owned property in Ormond Beach that went through a tax sale or foreclosure, check with the Clerk to see if surplus funds are waiting for you.

Reach out to the Clerk if you believe court-held money from an Ormond Beach case may be waiting. Staff can look into their records and tell you if funds are still at the courthouse or have been sent to the state.

How to Claim Unclaimed Money in Ormond Beach

Found a match? Good. Visit fltreasurehunt.gov, click the account, and follow the claim process. You will need a government-issued photo ID at minimum. If the address on your ID does not match your current Ormond Beach address, include a utility bill or bank statement showing where you live now.

Proof of ownership is the most important part. Sharing the same name as the account holder is not enough. The state gets duplicate-name claims all the time. Old bank statements, insurance letters, or pay stubs that connect you to the specific account will make your claim solid. The claim form tells you what documents are needed for each Ormond Beach unclaimed money account.

For money belonging to a deceased Ormond Beach resident, submit a certified death certificate and proof that you are the rightful heir. The state allows up to 90 days to process a complete claim. There is no charge to file.

Ormond Beach Unclaimed Property Laws

Florida law protects your right to claim lost money. There is no time limit. The state never takes ownership and acts as custodian only. Whether the money was reported last year or many years ago, it is still yours to claim for free.

Section 717.102 is the main rule: intangible property unclaimed for five years is presumed abandoned. Wages follow a one-year rule under Section 717.115. Safe deposit box items become reportable after three years per Section 717.116. Holders in and around Ormond Beach file their unclaimed property reports by May 1 each year as Section 717.117 requires. They must first try to contact the owner. When that fails, the money goes to the state.

Under Section 116.21, the Volusia County Clerk handles unclaimed court-related funds separately. Uncashed refunds, vendor checks, and jury payments follow their own reporting path before being sent to the state system.
