  • May I report property for owners with a Georgia address to another state?

    Property should be reported to the state of the last known address of the owner.  Georgia allows for Reciprocal Reporting (reporting to a state other than the state of the last known address) only for insignificant property.  Insignificant property is defined as less than ten accounts totaling less than $1000.  We prefer for you to report property directly to the Georgia Unclaimed Property Program.
