Edmond Overview
Edmond Unclaimed Money Program
The City of Edmond runs its own unclaimed property program through the Finance Department. When the city writes a check and it goes uncashed or is returned as undeliverable, the funds sit in the city's unclaimed property account. The Finance Department handles all check writing and reconciliation. Once a check is flagged as unclaimed, the city works to find the rightful owner. This covers vendor payments, employee payroll, refunds, and other city-issued disbursements. Amounts on the list range from $12.50 to $880, though some may be higher.
You can view the full list of unclaimed funds on the Edmond Unclaimed Property List page. The city posts names and amounts so you can check if you are owed money. The list is updated as new uncashed checks are identified. This is separate from the state program, so even if you searched yourmoney.ok.gov, you should still check the Edmond list.
