Unclaimed Funds

The City of Placentia maintains a listing of all City-issued accounts payable and/or payroll checks that are at least ninety (90) days old and have not been cashed.

After three years, unclaimed items must be published once a week, for two consecutive weeks, in a general circulation newspaper. If a claim is not made within the specified time period, the funds are transferred to the City’s general fund in accordance with California Government Code Sections 50050-50056. 

If you are the legal payee or a representative of the payee and would like to file a claim, please click here to complete and submit the necessary form.

Once the form has been completed, received, reviewed, and approved by the City Treasurer, a check will be mailed within three weeks.

Questions can be directed to accountspayable@placentia.org or 714-993-8254.
