About Magalia

Unclaimed Property in Magalia

Magalia's substantial unclaimed property total reflects the community's upheaval following the devastating 2018 Camp Fire, which destroyed most of the town and displaced thousands of residents. Many evacuees left behind utility deposits, insurance claim payments, and employer-issued refunds that have since been turned over to the state.

WM Corporate Services Inc, holding $14.8K, typically manages waste collection deposits and final billing credits, while MetLife Inc's $7.6K represents uncashed insurance payments and premium refunds common in disaster-affected areas. The Paradise area, including Magalia's 95954 Zip code, shows particularly high concentrations of credit balances and premium refunds as residents relocated quickly after the fire.

With many former Magalia families now scattered across California, these funds often go unclaimed because people don't know to search under their old address near the Magalia Community Church area.

Is there a deadline to claim unclaimed property in Magalia?
