City of Bastrop Unclaimed Property List
If you believe that you are entitled to unclaimed property that the city is holding please contact the City of Bastrop, Finance Department at (512) 321-4527 or (512) 303-1486.
You will need to provide the owner's name, all previous and current Texas addresses, and a taxpayer identification number or social security number, or any other identification that the city may request. If a search of our database results in any matches between the information you provide and our data, or possible ownership is indicated, we will mail a claim form to you.
How does the claim process work?
The claim form includes instructions for its completion and describes documentation that will be needed in addition to the form. All claim types have general requirements such as:
- standard forms of identification for the owner and for the claimant, if someone other than the original owner is claiming
- verification of the reported address if different than the current address
- death certificate and probated will or other heirship documents if the original owner is deceased
- specific documentation according
to the type of property such as a bank statement, insurance policy,
the original uncashed check, etc.
When we receive your completed claim form, we review it carefully. If there is not sufficient proof of ownership, we may contact you for further information. We generally process and pay claims within 60 to 90 days of receipt.
