# §230.32. Disposition of property of apparent owners where property is valued over $200.


Where an apparent owner of property subject to this subpart is known, and the estimated value of the property exceeds $200, the owner shall be notified by certified mail at his last known address. The written notice shall describe the property and the procedure for filing a claim for its return (see, §§ [230.36](/cfr/39/230.36.md) and [230.39](/cfr/39/230.39.md)). Such claims must be filed within 30 days from the date the written notice is postmarked. If the apparent owner of the property fails to file a timely claim, the property is considered abandoned and must be disposed of as provided in [§ 230.38](/cfr/39/230.38.md).
