DES MOINES – State Treasurer Roby Smith today (Monday) announced Iowans broke new records for claims and searches during the 2025 Unclaimed Property Day celebration. Overall, there were more than half a million visits to GreatIowaTreasureHunt.gov resulting in 13,137 individual claims, an increase of 92% from 2024.
“This year’s Unclaimed Property Day was a huge success with the value of claims filed totaling more than $4.6 million,” said Treasurer Smith. “The largest claim from the event totaled over $250,000. Even with this success, there’s still more we can do to reunite Iowans with their unclaimed property, so I encourage every citizen to search GreatIowaTreasureHunt.gov to see if they’ve got something to claim!”
As of publication, more than half a billion dollars remains to be claimed in Great Iowa Treasure Hunt. As Iowa’s only legitimate source of unclaimed property, Treasurer Smith encourages past and present Iowans to search for their unclaimed property anytime by visiting GreatIowaTreasureHunt.gov.
