Complete Guide to Searching and Claiming in MT [2026]
Montana holds millions of dollars in unclaimed property waiting to be returned to rightful owners. Big Sky Country's My Cash Montana program helps residents recover property from energy companies, agricultural operations, and tourism businesses. The Montana Department of Revenue is responsible for safeguarding and returning these assets to their owners.
Montana uses the TransAction Portal (NOT KAPS) 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 Montana Department of Revenue. Use this site to:
Visit mycash.mt.gov and search using your name or business name.
Check the property details (address, holder name) to confirm it belongs to you.
Complete the online claim form or download the paper form if preferred. Online claims typically process faster.
Provide proof of identity and ownership as requested by the state.
Montana claims typically take Up to 90 days to process.
Once approved, receive your funds via check or direct deposit (if available).
