Escheatment of Unclaimed Money

Annually, the County Treasurer receives a listing of monies which have remained unclaimed for over three years from each County Department and Agency. The Treasurer, pursuant to Government Code section 50050-50057 provides that unclaimed monies which remain in the treasury or in the official custody of the officers of a local agency for a period of over three (3) years, become the property of the agency. Individual items $15.00 or more in value must be published as notification that the money will become the property of the County on a designated date if it is left unclaimed.
