Mustang Overview
Mustang Unclaimed Money Through the City
The City of Mustang may hold unclaimed funds from time to time. These can come from overpaid utility bills, refund checks that were never cashed, vendor payments, or other city disbursements.

Oklahoma Unclaimed Money for Mustang Residents
The Oklahoma State Treasurer runs the main unclaimed money program. It covers the whole state, including Mustang. The state holds more than $1 billion in unclaimed funds from banks, insurance companies, employers, utilities, and other businesses. Anyone in Mustang can search the state database for free at yourmoney.ok.gov. There is no cost and no time limit to file a claim.
Unclaimed money ends up with the state for many reasons. A bank account goes dormant. An insurance payout never gets picked up. A payroll check goes uncashed. A utility deposit is never refunded. Under Oklahoma's Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, found at 60 O.S. ยง 661, businesses must turn over these dormant funds to the state after a set period of inactivity. The state then holds them until the owner or heir comes forward. Mustang residents should search using current and past names since records are tied to whatever name and address the company had on file when it reported the property.
Go to yourmoney.ok.gov/app/claim-search to start a search. You can also read general program details at oklahoma.gov/treasurer/unclaimed-property.html. If you need help with your claim, reach the Treasurer's office through the contact page.
How to Find Unclaimed Money in Mustang
Start with the state search. Go to yourmoney.ok.gov and type in your last name. Try different spellings if your name has been recorded in more than one way over the years. Use your maiden name if you changed it. Check old names too. The database goes back decades, so you might find money tied to an address you lived at twenty years ago.
If you find a match, the site walks you through the claim process. Most claims need a copy of your government-issued photo ID. Larger claims may ask for more proof, like a Social Security card or a bill that shows your address. If you are claiming for someone who has passed away, you will need a death certificate and proof you are the heir or the executor of the estate. The state accepts claims from heirs, and there is no deadline to do so.
For Mustang city funds, the process is different. Send a written request to the City Clerk at 1501 N Mustang Rd. Include your name, address, and a copy of your ID. The clerk will review your request and get back to you within 30 days. There is no form to download online for city claims, so a simple letter works.
