UNCLAIMED MONIES

Government Code Section 50050 et seq. provides that unclaimed monies which remain in the treasury or in the official custody of the officers of a local agency for three (3) years become the property of the agency, provided notice is properly published after the expiration of the three-year period that the monies, if left unclaimed, will become the property of the local agency on a designated date not less than forty-five (45) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the first publication of the notice. These provisions and restrictions apply to individual items of fifteen dollars ($15) or greater. Individual items of less than $15 may become the property of the local agency after a period of one (1) year without the necessity of publication of a notice.
