Navajo County Unclaimed Money

Navajo County residents can search for unclaimed money through the Arizona Department of Revenue at no cost. The county does not maintain its own unclaimed property database. All lost funds from Show Low, Holbrook, Winslow, and communities across the Navajo Nation flow to the state. A quick online search may reveal forgotten accounts or uncashed checks waiting for you.

How to Search Navajo County Unclaimed Property

Go to missingmoney.com to begin. This is Arizona's official unclaimed property portal. Enter your name and select Arizona from the list. Results appear instantly. Matches show the holder name and property type. Dollar amounts stay private until you file a claim.

Navajo County covers a large area including parts of the Navajo Nation and the White Mountain Apache Reservation. People often move between communities or spend time working in other parts of Arizona. If you have lived elsewhere, search those areas too. Property reports based on your last known address.

Try different name spellings. Maiden names count. Nicknames and business names can all have funds attached.

Navajo County Treasurer

The Navajo County Treasurer handles property taxes and tax lien sales. The main office is at 100 East Code Talkers Drive in Holbrook. Mailing address is PO Box 668. Phone: (928) 524-4172. A south county office operates at 600 North 9th Place in Show Low.

The treasurer does not manage regular unclaimed money. Bank accounts and insurance funds flow through the state ADOR program. Contact the county only for tax liens and excess proceeds from foreclosure sales.

Types of Unclaimed Money in Navajo County

Bank accounts make up a large share. Checking and savings accounts go dormant after three years without owner contact. CDs and money orders follow the same rule. If you had an account years ago and moved, those funds may be waiting.

Uncashed checks are common. Payroll checks become unclaimed after one year. Workers in tourism, forestry, and other industries may have old wages in the system. Refund checks and vendor payments end up in the database too.

Insurance proceeds and securities round out the list. Life insurance benefits go unclaimed when beneficiaries cannot be found. Stock dividends become unclaimed when mail bounces back.

Filing Claims in Navajo County

After finding your property online, file a claim through Arizona. Four forms are available:

• Form 600A for original owners
• Form 600B for heirs
• Form 600C for businesses
• Form 600D for agents

Get forms at azdor.gov/forms/unclaimed-property-forms. Include photo ID and documents proving your connection to the reported address.

Heir claims need a certified death certificate and proof of relationship. Processing takes about 90 days. Payment arrives by mail within 30 days of approval.

Avoiding Unclaimed Money Scams

Watch for fraud. Scammers send letters claiming to have found your money. They ask for fees or bank information. Arizona never charges for searches or claims. The state does not require any payment to release your property.

Real letters do not include dollar amounts. If someone tells you exactly what you have waiting, it is a scam. The state does not cold call residents about unclaimed money. Emails requesting your bank account or Social Security number are always fraudulent. Never share personal financial information with unexpected contacts.

Legitimate heir finding companies exist but charge fees up to 35% of the property value. You can file the same claim yourself at no cost. If someone contacts you, verify the property exists first by searching missingmoney.com. Call ADOR at (602) 364-0380 to verify contact. Report fraud to the Arizona Attorney General at azag.gov/complaints/consumer.
