Complete Guide to Searching and Claiming in VT [2026]
Vermont holds millions of dollars in unclaimed property waiting to be returned to rightful owners. The Green Mountain State offers express service for claims under $200, with payment typically within 5 business days. The Vermont State Treasurer is responsible for safeguarding and returning these assets to their owners.
Vermont uses the KAPS (Kelmar) for its unclaimed property database. Property typically becomes dormant after 3 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 Vermont State Treasurer. Use this site to:
Visit vtclaims.unclaimedproperty.com 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.
Vermont claims typically take 5-90 days to process.
Once approved, receive your funds via check or direct deposit (if available).
