About Burbank

Unclaimed Property in Burbank

Burbank's massive unclaimed property total reflects its unique position as the entertainment capital, home to major studios and media companies that generate significant employee turnover and relocations. The Walt Disney Company ($736,100) and other entertainment employers create substantial wage and payroll claims when employees move between projects or relocate for new opportunities.

Gep Administrative Services ($527,500) and Citibank ($469,600) represent the high concentration of entertainment industry financial services in the area. The Magnolia Park and Downtown Burbank areas, with their mix of long-term residents and transient entertainment workers, show particularly high concentrations of unclaimed deposits and refunds.

Given Burbank's proximity to Hollywood studios and the constant flow of cast, crew, and support staff, many residents may have forgotten about final paychecks, security deposits, or vendor payments from completed productions.
