San Diego County issues list for September unclaimed funds deadline
According to the San Diego Business Journal:
San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister says he has nearly 800 unclaimed cash accounts amounting to almost $200,000 that he’s trying to return to the rightful owners.
The funds in the accounts came from individuals who have done business with any county department in the past three years and are overpayments. The majority of the money, some $117,000, is property tax refunds, but another $94,000 is from refunds by various county departments consumers have dealt with. The largest refund is for about $8,700 while the lowest is $10.
“We hope that the owners come forward before September 14, 2012 and claim their refunds,” McAllister said.
After that deadline, state law allows unclaimed countywide funds to be turned over to the county’s general fund; property tax refunds require four years before the county can officially take them.
The property tax refund listing is available here in PDF format and here in XLSX format (Excel 2010).
