Florissant City Government
The Florissant city website provides department contacts and local service information. Below is the official site for the City of Florissant.
The City of Florissant website has contact details for every department. City Hall is at 1100 N. Lindbergh Boulevard, Florissant, MO 63031. Call (314) 921-5700 for general questions. The Municipal Court at (314) 921-6305 processes bond refunds and court-related payments. Any uncollected funds from city offices eventually get reported to the state as unclaimed money.
Common Sources of Lost Funds
Old bank accounts generate the most Florissant unclaimed money. When an account has no activity for five years and the bank cannot reach the owner, the balance goes to the state. That is the rule under Missouri Sections 447.500 to 447.595 RSMo. Checking, savings, and CD accounts all follow the five-year dormancy period. With several bank branches serving Florissant, dormant accounts add up fast.
Payroll checks uncashed for three years become unclaimed. Insurance payments that never found the beneficiary get turned over too. Utility deposits from old Florissant addresses, court bond refunds, and vendor checks are other common sources. Safe deposit boxes untouched for five years go to the Treasurer. Their contents can include cash, jewelry, and documents. Money orders wait seven years before they become unclaimed. Gift cards and store credits from closed businesses are another overlooked source.
St. Louis County government at 41 S. Central Avenue in Clayton, (314) 615-5100, handles county-level tax and payment matters. Overpaid county taxes and uncollected refunds from county offices can become unclaimed money at the state level.
Claim Florissant Lost Money
It is always free. Find your listing on ShowMeMoney.com and follow the steps. Upload a government photo ID. The Treasurer's office reviews your claim and sends payment. Most basic claims go through in 30 to 90 days.
Larger claims need more proof. A Social Security card, old bill, or bank statement from your Florissant address helps verify your identity. Claiming for a deceased family member requires a death certificate and probate paperwork. Section 447.565 RSMo asks for clear and convincing evidence, which for most people just means a valid photo ID. Your unclaimed money stays with the state forever. There is no deadline. The Treasurer pays up to seven years of interest on accounts that earned it.

Watch for Scams
No one from the state will ever ask you to pay a fee to claim your unclaimed money. If someone calls, texts, or emails you asking for payment to release your funds, that is a scam. The Treasurer's office reaches out by mail only. If you get a letter that looks official, verify it by going to ShowMeMoney.com and searching the database yourself.
Third-party finder services are legal in Missouri, but you do not have to use them. These companies find people with unclaimed money and charge a fee to file the claim. You can always do it yourself for free. If you decide to use a finder, read the contract before you sign. Missouri caps the fees they can charge. Never pay anything up front. The Treasurer wants Florissant residents to keep every dollar that belongs to them.
Missouri Unclaimed Money Rules

The Treasurer's About page covers the basics, and the FAQ page answers questions about timelines, documents, and the claims process.
