Unclaimed Money San Diego: According to the La Jolla Light, the San Diego Department of Finance reported approximately $840,000 in unclaimed funds as of May 23. This money can be returned to residents and businesses across the county.
Most often, a city may owe cash to local residents or businesses because they have overpaid local taxes and utilities.

However, it might not be a considerable sum of money. The city owes San Diego one person about $100,000. However, other people on this list owe as little as $1.
San Diego also owes money to a few high-profile organizations. Ace Parking, for example, has $2,000 in cash awaiting collection. California Department of Fish and Wildlife holds approximately $2,406. The Solana Beach Fire Department owes $6,100
