This month, the City of Sacramento published a list of unclaimed property held by the City and instructions to claim it. Visit the website to review the unclaimed property list, instructions and claim form. Property owners will have 60 days from the date of the first publication to submit a valid claim. The deadline to submit a valid claim is June 29, 2017. Valid claims will require proof of ownership. The City expects the claims administration process will take several months. At the end of this process, any unclaimed property will become the property of the City of Sacramento. This process is repeated each spring. The unclaimed property list consists of 1,532 unclaimed items including uncashed vendor and employee checks and utility account credit balances. Utility account credit balances occur when a customer overpays their account and does not request a refund. The list of items total approximately $287,000 and the average amount per customer is approximately $187.
