Unclaimed Property

The City of Sacramento’s Finance Department has unclaimed property belonging to vendors, former employees and utility ratepayers.  The unclaimed property consists of uncashed vendor and payroll checks and unrefunded utility billing account balances.  The uncashed checks were issued and mailed but have not been cashed three years or more after their issue date.  The unrefunded utility billing account balances are credit balances that were not requested to be refunded when a customer closed their account. The unclaimed property list is published annually in April and the claim submission window is open until the end of June.

The filing deadline for unclaimed property in 2022 has passed. The unclaimed property list for 2023 will be available the last week of April 2023.
