Moffat County

Craig serves as the county seat of Moffat County. The county treasurer manages property taxes but not unclaimed property from private sources.

Types of Unclaimed Property

The state holds bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance proceeds, stock dividends, utility refunds, and safe deposit box contents. Property becomes unclaimed when businesses cannot reach owners for three to five years.

Common examples include old savings accounts opened years ago and forgotten. Payroll checks from former jobs never cashed. Insurance refunds sent to old addresses. Stock dividends from companies you invested in. Utility deposits from apartments you lived in. Money orders purchased but never used.

The state protects this money until owners claim it. There is no time limit. Property reported decades ago can still be claimed today. The state never takes ownership. It simply holds the funds in trust for the rightful owners. This ensures your property remains safe and available whenever you discover it.
