Treasurer Metcalf: Over $9.2 Million in Unclaimed Property for Boone County
FRANKFORT, Ky. (September 10, 2025) – Kentucky State Treasurer Mark H. Metcalf announced today that the Treasury’s Division of Unclaimed Property is safeguarding $9,295,625.48 in unclaimed assets belonging to residents of Boone County.
“Our job is to safeguard and return money to the people it belongs to,” said Treasurer Metcalf. “With more than $9 million waiting in Boone County, these are dollars that belong back in the community. I encourage every resident to take a moment to search our system—you may be surprised what you find. This money can strengthen households and support local growth.”
Unclaimed property refers to financial assets that have been left inactive or unclaimed by the owner for a period of time (typically three years). Afterward, they are transferred to the Treasury for safekeeping. Examples include:
• Dormant bank accounts
• Unclaimed insurance policies
• Utility deposits
• Stocks and bonds
• Safe deposit box contents
Kentuckians can easily search the Treasury’s online database at www.treasury.ky.gov to see if unclaimed property is owed to them.
Since taking office on January 1, 2024, Treasurer Metcalf has returned a record-breaking $65 million to Kentuckians. He and his team remain committed to safeguarding taxpayer dollars and delivering results for the Commonwealth.
