Hundreds of Riverside County business owners and residents are owed property tax refunds, and officials today encouraged members of the public to find out whether they're on the list of recipients.
According to Treasurer-Tax Collector Matthew Jennings, roughly $540,000 in refunds from tax year 2016 and farther back are waiting to be claimed.
Just under 600 individuals and businesses are listed as eligible to receive the funds, he said. Amounts per recipient range from a few dollars to thousands of dollars.
The deadline to file a refund claim is Aug. 2. The Board of Supervisors will vote soon after that date on whether to transfer unclaimed money into the general fund, or extend the claims deadline.
