- 1
The State’s weekly file. Georgia publishes its full unclaimed-property file. We load it every week — it is the source for everything on this page.
- 2
Grouped by reported city. Each record carries the address it was reported at. That is what the city grouping reflects.
- 3
Totals only. These pages show counts and amounts. They never list an owner’s name.
- 4
Search is per record. City totals tell you how much is sitting there. Finding a specific record still means searching a name.
The reported city is the last address a holder had on file. It is not where someone lives now, and it is not where the money physically is.
Georgia is holding well over a billion dollars in unclaimed property, and it is not spread evenly — it concentrates where people, banks, and employers are. The table below is computed from the Georgia Department of Revenue’s own weekly file (currently the file dated 2026-11-02), counting property worth more than $500 — the band that requires an actual claim. The cities differ most in what kind of money it is: insurance payouts in some, business-owned records in others. Each city links to a page showing its full mix, the companies local to it, and where estate papers come from.
