Once again, this year’s sale will be held online only. The Arizona Department of Revenue will sell the contents of safe deposit boxes to the highest bidder. The items can be viewed at www.sierraauction.com. Proceeds from items sold from the auction are transferred to a custodial account where the funds will remain for the rightful owners to claim.

Assets from abandoned safe deposit boxes make up a portion of unclaimed money the Arizona Department of Revenue safeguards until the funds can be returned to claimants. ADOR's Unclaimed Property Unit returns millions of dollars of unclaimed assets to their rightful owners every year. In fiscal year 2023 (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023), over $61 million was returned.
