Complete Guide to Searching and Claiming in AR [2026]
Arkansas holds millions of dollars in unclaimed property waiting to be returned to rightful owners. The Natural State actively works to reunite residents with their money through the Great Arkansas Treasure Hunt program, which has returned millions to Arkansans. The Arkansas Auditor of State is responsible for safeguarding and returning these assets to their owners.
Arkansas uses the KAPS (Kelmar) for its unclaimed property database. Property typically becomes dormant after 5 years of no owner activity, at which point holders must report it to the state by November 1 each year.
This is the official state website operated by the Arkansas Auditor of State. Use this site to:

Provide proof of identity and ownership as requested by the state.
Arkansas claims typically take Up to 90 days to process.
