Many people might not be aware however, the Orange County
Clerk’s Office may have some unclaimed money for you! Readers
can search the unclaimed checks list at www.myorangeclerk.
com. If you see your name on the list, you have until September
1, 2024 to claim your money.
The checks listed are those that were mailed, but never cashed;
perhaps because the intended recipient moved away and did not leave a forwarding
address or put the check away and forgot about it.
The list of more than 7,000 checks includes uncashed vendor payments, refunds,
restitution, and cash bonds from as low as 8 cents up to $10,000. Whether you are
an individual, business, or an organization, make sure to view the unclaimed checks
list.
“Our customers deserve to receive the money that is rightly theirs,” said Clerk of
Courts Tiffany Moore Russell. “That is why every year we go above and beyond to
spread the word about our unclaimed checks list.”
The Clerk’s Office reminds customers who have restitution owed to them on a case in
Orange County to make sure they keep our office updated on any address changes to
ensure they receive any payments due to them.
Please keep in mind, if you do not collect your money by September 1st 2024, Section
116.21 of Florida Statutes says it will be forfeited and deposited into the Clerk’s Fine
and Forfeiture Fund.
If you have searched the list and believe the Clerk's Office is holding a check for which you have a claim, follow the instructions on the website to submit a claim.
