Titusville Unclaimed Funds

Unclaimed money in Titusville could be sitting in the state database with your name on it right now. As the county seat of Brevard County, Titusville is home to the Clerk of Courts office that handles court-held funds for the entire county. The Florida Department of Financial Services also holds lost funds from dormant accounts, old paychecks, and insurance payouts tied to Titusville addresses. Searching is free and takes just a few minutes. With nearly 50,000 residents and a long connection to the Kennedy Space Center workforce, there are plenty of unclaimed accounts linked to this area.

How to Search for Unclaimed Money in Titusville

Head to fltreasurehunt.gov and enter your name. This is the state's official search tool. It costs nothing to use. The system checks every reported unclaimed account in Florida, including those tied to Titusville addresses.

Try different versions of your name. Maiden names, previous married names, and nicknames all show up in records. Misspellings happen more than people realize, so try slight variations. If you owned a business in Titusville, search under the business name too. Both personal and business accounts are in the system. People who worked at Kennedy Space Center or in the Titusville support industries may find old payroll accounts or benefit payments they forgot about.

Titusville has been through economic ups and downs over the years, especially after the Space Shuttle program ended. Workers who left the area sometimes left behind small accounts or uncashed checks. If you once lived or worked in Titusville but moved away, the search is still worth your time.

Sources of Unclaimed Money in Titusville

Chapter 717, Florida Statutes requires businesses and agencies to turn over money they cannot return to the owner. Bank accounts go dormant after five years of no contact. Wages become reportable after just one year. Insurance benefits, utility deposits, refunds, and safe deposit box contents all follow their own deadlines.

In Titusville, these funds might come from local banks, credit unions, aerospace contractors, medical offices, or utility companies. Maybe a contractor near the Space Center owed you wages and your address changed. Or a bank on Garden Street closed your account and could not reach you. Utility deposits from an old rental on South Washington Avenue could be sitting in the state system. These are the real-world situations that create unclaimed money in Titusville.

Note: Titusville's role as the Brevard County seat means the Clerk of Courts office is right here in town, making it easier to check on court-held funds in person if you prefer.

Brevard County Clerk of Courts

Titusville is the county seat of Brevard County, and the Brevard County Clerk of Courts office sits right in the city. This is the office that manages all court-held funds for the county. Cash bonds, lawsuit deposits, and court-ordered payments are held here. When parties fail to pick up their money or leave Titusville without providing updated contact information, the funds go unclaimed.

Tax deed surplus is another source worth checking. When a Titusville property sells at a tax deed auction for more than what was owed, the extra amount goes to the former owner. Foreclosure sales generate surplus too under Florida Statute 45.032. If you owned property in Titusville that went through a tax sale or foreclosure at some point, surplus funds could be held by the Clerk or already transferred to the state.

Since the Clerk's main office is in Titusville, local residents can walk in and ask about court-held funds. Staff can look up records and tell you if money is waiting from a Brevard County case.

Filing a Claim for Titusville Unclaimed Money

Found a match? The fltreasurehunt.gov website walks you through the claim process step by step. Click on the matching account and follow the instructions. You need a government-issued photo ID at minimum. If the address on your ID differs from your current Titusville address, bring along a utility bill or bank statement that shows where you live now.

Proof that you own the account matters most. Sharing the same name is not enough. The state deals with duplicate-name claims all the time. Old bank statements, insurance letters, pay stubs, or other paperwork connecting you to the specific account will make your claim solid. The claim form tells you exactly what documents are needed for each Titusville unclaimed money account you want to claim.

For accounts that belonged to a deceased Titusville resident, you need a certified death certificate and evidence of your right to inherit. The state has up to 90 days to review and process a complete claim, though it often goes faster. There is no fee to file.

Titusville Unclaimed Property Laws

Florida law protects your right to claim lost money. There is no deadline, ever. The state does not take ownership of unclaimed funds. It holds them as custodian. Money reported a year ago and money reported decades ago are both yours to claim at no cost.

Section 717.102 sets the core rule: intangible property unclaimed for five years is presumed abandoned. Wages have a shorter one-year window under Section 717.115. Safe deposit box items become reportable after three years per Section 717.116. Holders in and around Titusville file unclaimed property reports with the state by May 1 each year as Section 717.117 requires. They must try to contact the owner first. When that does not work, the money goes to the state.

The Brevard County Clerk also handles unclaimed court funds under Section 116.21. Uncashed refunds, vendor checks, and jury payments from courts in Titusville follow their own reporting steps before transfer to the state system.
