Reported at a Lawrenceville address. A holder — a bank, an employer, an insurer — had money it could not return, and the last address on its file was in Lawrenceville.

Finding your own. City totals do not name owners. Locating a specific record means searching the name it was reported under.
A Lawrenceville record means the address a holder last had on file — not where the person lives now, not where the money physically sits, and not an office of ours.
Every week the Georgia Department of Revenue publishes its full unclaimed-property file — every account, paycheck, refund, and insurance payout that a business could not return to its owner and was required by law to hand over to the State. We load that file weekly, and this page reports what it currently shows for Lawrenceville addresses. Figures below are from the State’s file dated 2026-09-08.

These counts cover property worth more than $500 — the band that requires an actual claim. Cash property at or below $500 is excluded here because Georgia’s Money Match program (SB 403) returns much of it automatically, with no claim and no fee to anyone. How Money Match works and who qualifies.

How to search — free, two ways
Directly with the State (always free): search your name at gaclaims.unclaimedproperty.com or call the Georgia DOR Unclaimed Property line at (855) 329-9863. Filing a claim yourself costs nothing.
On this site: search the same statewide data here — we rebuild our database from the State’s file every week. Search maiden names, common misspellings, and relatives’ names too; a large share of unclaimed property is listed under someone who has moved away or passed away.
How money ends up unclaimed in Lawrenceville
The pattern is ordinary, not exotic: a final paycheck after a job change, a bank account forgotten in a move, a utility deposit from an old apartment, an insurance payout that never found the beneficiary. After a dormancy period, Georgia law requires the company to turn the money over to the State — where it waits, indefinitely, under O.C.G.A. §44-12-190. The State keeps it safe but will not mail it to you unprompted (outside the small Money Match band). Someone has to ask.
