San Diego County officials: $450K in refunds still unclaimed

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- There’s $450,324 in refunds still waiting to be claimed, according to the San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office.

The office said San Diegans can check the SDTTC.com website to find out if they are eligible to claim one of the 1,190 county refunds.

County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister said, “With many people out of work or cash-strapped, it’s essential to return this money to the citizens of San Diego. The average refund is $378, and that can go a long way for those who need it.”

If San Diegans find their names on the list, they have until Oct. 26 to file a refund claim. Claims can be emailed to refunds@sdcounty.ca.gov; for more information, call 877-829-4732.

Money not claimed by the deadline will be added to the county’s general fund.
