Tax Collector Gannon Encourages Residents to Check Unclaimed Funds
West Palm Beach, Fla. – Constitutional Tax Collector Anne M. Gannon encourages Palm Beach County residents to visit the Tax Collector’s website, www.pbctax.com, and check the unclaimed funds section to see if they have any unclaimed funds waiting for them.
“Some clients overpay their transactions, and once this happens, we issue a refund for the amount overpaid. If the refund goes undelivered, we continue to attempt to issue the refund,” said Gannon. “Once several unsuccessful attempts have been made and after we have explored all refund options, we publish a list of unclaimed funds on our website hoping that clients will reclaim the money due to them. We hold onto these for one year, and if the funds remain unclaimed, we forward those funds to the appropriate State of last known address.”
There is currently more than $700,000 in unclaimed funds available and information can be found at, www.pbctax.com/unclaimed-funds and at the state’s website, www.fltreasurehunt.gov. The Tax Collector’s Office encourages you to follow these helpful search tips:
