Unclaimed Property in Pacific Grove
Pacific Grove's substantial unclaimed property pool reflects the city's unique position as a historic coastal resort town with a transient seasonal population and longtime retirees. Many of these funds stem from Pacific Gas & Electric Company ($45,900) and Comcast Cable Communications ($20,700), which frequently hold security deposits and final bill credits when residents relocate after the summer season or move to assisted living facilities.
The concentration of unclaimed property is particularly high among former residents near the famous 17-Mile Drive and Lovers Point areas, where vacation rentals and seasonal employment created frequent address changes. MetLife's $15,000 in holdings typically represents unclaimed insurance benefits and annuity payments, reflecting Pacific Grove's aging population and the area's history as a retirement destination since the Chautauqua movement established the town as a Methodist retreat in 1875.

Is there a deadline to claim unclaimed property in Pacific Grove?
