Complete Guide to Searching and Claiming in TN [2026]
Tennessee holds millions of dollars in unclaimed property waiting to be returned to rightful owners. ClaimItTN helps volunteers recover their unclaimed property through a straightforward three-step process. The Tennessee State Treasury is responsible for safeguarding and returning these assets to their owners.
Tennessee 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 Tennessee State Treasury. Use this site to:
Visit treasury.tn.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.
Tennessee claims typically take Several weeks to months to process.
Once approved, receive your funds via check or direct deposit (if available).
