Found Money: The Orange County Clerk of Courts may have cash for you

Posted

You may not be aware, but the Orange County Clerk’s Office may have some unclaimed money for you. Look at our unclaimed checks list at www.myorangeclerk.com. If you see your name on the list, you have until September 1st, 2023, to claim the 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 9,121 checks includes uncashed vendor payments, refunds, restitution, and cash bonds from as low as one cent up to more than $14,000. Whether you are an individual, a 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 ensure they keep our office updated on address changes to ensure they receive any payments due to them. 

If you do not collect your money by September 1st, Section 116.21 of Florida Statutes says it will be forfeited and deposited into the Clerk’s Fine and Forfeiture Fund.

    I will have to look at this list again when I am not half asleep and can see better. I downloaded the list, but that is a poor way of listing people, as it doesn't appear to be in alphabetical order, either by first name or last name? Seems that way....I will try again tomorrow. Let's see....Oh, MamaMia, where is my name? I could use that moola!
