Questions

Where does the Clay County surplus funds list come from?

From the official list published by Clay County Collector of Revenue (source). Surplus Funds HQ checks it daily and last found it updated Oct 12, 2026.

How do I claim surplus funds in Clay County?

The former owner (or heirs) files a claim with the office that holds the funds, usually with ID and proof of ownership. It is free to do yourself. See how to claim surplus funds; in Missouri: Claims filed within 90 days after the redemption period expires.

Can someone else claim the money for me?

Yes, recovery agents and attorneys do this for a fee, but Missouri law may cap the fee or require a waiting period (State-held unclaimed property: <12 months after delivery to treasurer). Read any contract carefully; you never need an agent to file.
