Unclaimed Money

• The Escheat Policy is established to provide a mechanism to deal with checks that have been issued by the City of Vista and not cashed by the payee for three or more years.

  Periodically, the City will have published a list of uncashed checks over $15.00 that were issued three (3) or more years ago. Lists, when published, will appear once a week for two successive weeks in the local newspaper. When applicable, the notice will include the individual or business name as shown on the issued check, the amount of the issued check and the fund in which it is held.  Forty-five (45) days after the initial public notice, if the check remains unclaimed, the money shall become the property of the City of Vista and placed in its General Fund (California Government Code Sections 50050 and 50051). To learn how to request unclaimed funds, click here.
