Recovered Property
Contact the Property Management Unit of the King County Seriff's Office at (206) 296-4078 to find out if we have your property and for instructions on how to claim your recovered property.
“Recovered property” refers to items that law enforcement has found, seized, or taken into custody that are believed to belong to someone. This can include:
- Property that was lost and later turned in
- Items that were stolen and then recovered by deputies
- Property taken during an investigation (evidence) and now cleared for release
In short, it’s any item the Sheriff’s Office is holding that needs to be returned to its rightful owner once certain steps (like identification or case clearance) are completed.
