How much unclaimed money is in your county?
Explore reported property value and counts by county, then search the official records for your own name.
All 58 counties. State and county records.
Most services only check the State Controller. We also search county tax-sale surplus — money most people never know exists.
Use the county view below to compare reported value and property counts across California. It combines the statewide unclaimed-property picture with the local county records that often decide whether surplus funds can be recovered.
County tax-sale surplus can sit outside the search habits people already know. Checking by county helps surface money tied to property ownership, not just old bank accounts, checks, deposits, or insurance records.
See the data, then see if your name is there
County figures reflect reported cash amounts for unclaimed-property records whose owner ZIP maps to a California county (about $7.9 billion across 58 counties). Records without a resolvable California ZIP, and certain non-cash property, aren't allocated to a county — so these totals don't sum to California's roughly $15 billion in total unclaimed property.
