The City of Round Rock is attempting to locate the rightful owners of unclaimed property. The unclaimed property may be the result of a check being returned as undeliverable or a check that has not been cashed after a certain length of time. Some examples of money that can become abandoned are:
- Payroll checks
- Vendor checks
- Overpayments
- Refund checks
The City of Round Rock is currently holding property valued at $100 or less and is presumed abandoned subject to Chapter 76 of the Texas Property Code. In accordance with State Law, the City annually sends any amount over $100 to the State Comptroller where it is held until claimed.
It’s your money. If the City of Round Rock is holding property belonging to you, the City’s Finance Department wants to help you get your property back.
