- 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.

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 2026-09-08), counting property worth more than $500 — the band that requires an actual claim. Each city links to a detailed page with the typical amount, the largest record, and the companies that reported the money.
| City | Properties over $500 | Total value | Typical amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atlanta | 133,141 | $349,119,887 | $1,032 |
| Marietta | 20,907 | $47,234,233 | $991 |
| Savannah | 16,376 | $33,493,249 | $1,000 |
| Decatur | 13,850 | $31,915,116 | $1,000 |
| Alpharetta | 12,623 | $30,052,174 | $1,030 |
| Columbus | 10,852 | $25,221,179 | $1,004 |
| Augusta | 11,366 | $24,599,618 | $1,000 |
| Lawrenceville | 11,678 | $22,903,310 | $934 |
| Macon | 10,021 | $20,287,316 | $1,000 |
| Athens | 5,690 | $11,711,403 | $989 |
Across just these 10 cities the State is holding $596.5M in claimable property — and that is a fraction of the statewide total.

Whatever city you are in: search the State’s official site at gaclaims.unclaimedproperty.com or call the Georgia DOR at (855) 329-9863 — searching and claiming directly with the State is always free. You can also search the same data here. Try maiden names, old spellings, and the names of deceased relatives; a large share of unclaimed property belongs to people who moved or passed away.
