Title
ONLINE PUBLIC AUCTION TAX SALE OF TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
When a property owner fails to pay property taxes by the end of the fiscal year, the property becomes tax defaulted. If the property remains tax defaulted for five years, the property then becomes subject to the Treasurer-Tax Collector's Power to Sell. Statutory requirements are met pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code ? 3691, et seq. prior to the property being offered at sale. The purpose of offering tax-defaulted property at a tax sale is to collect the unpaid taxes (redemption) and to return the property to a revenue-generating status. This is a request to approve the proposed sale of 749 parcels of tax-defaulted real property at Online Public Auction Tax Sale No. 7095, beginning on March 14, 2025, with final groups closing on March 19, 2025.
