Where these city figures come from
  1. 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. 2

    Grouped by reported city. Each record carries the address it was reported at. That is what the city grouping reflects.

  3. 3

    Totals only. These pages show counts and amounts. They never list an owner’s name.

  4. 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 2026-09-08), 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.

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.
