About Cypress

Unclaimed Property in Cypress

Cypress's substantial unclaimed property total reflects the city's proximity to major employment centers and aerospace industry transitions over the decades. Many records trace back to former employees of aerospace companies like Boeing and McDonnell Douglas who relocated or retired, leaving behind forgotten accounts.

Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club holds the largest amount at $115,000, typically consisting of insurance claim refunds and unused premiums, while Capital One's $76,600 represents dormant credit card rewards and closed account balances. The concentration of unclaimed funds is particularly high among residents near Los Alamitos Race Course and the Cypress College area, where transient populations of students and seasonal workers often moved without updating addresses.

With its history as a planned community developed in the 1950s, many original homeowners' estates still have unclaimed utility deposits and dividend payments awaiting discovery.

Is there a deadline to claim unclaimed property in Cypress?
