NOTICE OF SEALED BID SALE ON (date of sale) OF TAX DEFAULTED PROPERTY FOR DELINQUENT TAXES
On (date of board approval), I, (tax collector’s name), (county) County Tax Collector, was directed to conduct a sealed bid sale by the board of supervisors of (county) County, California. The tax defaulted properties listed on this notice are subject to the tax collector's power of sale and have been approved for sale by a resolution dated (date of board resolution) of the (county) County board of supervisors.
I will publicly open the sealed bids submitted and sell the properties at (time) on (day of week), (date), in (room or location) at (street address, city, state). Each property will be sold to the highest bidder among the qualified bidders for not less than the minimum bid as shown on this notice.
Due diligence research is incumbent on the bidder as all properties are sold as is. The winning bidder is legally obligated to purchase the property. Transfer taxes will be added to and collected with the purchase price.
The right of redemption will cease on (day of week), (last business day before the public opening of the sealed bids), at the close of business and properties not redeemed will be offered for sale. If the parcel is not sold, the right of redemption will revive and continue up to the close of business on the last business day prior to the commencement of the next scheduled tax sale. The right of redemption will revive for any property purchased by a credit transaction if payment in full is not received by the close of business on the date specified by the tax collector.
If the properties are sold, parties of interest as defined in California Revenue and Taxation Code section 4675, have a right to file a claim with the county for any excess proceeds from the sale. Excess proceeds are the amount of the highest bid in excess of the liens and costs of the sale that are required to be paid from the sale proceeds. Notice will be given to parties of interest, pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code section 3692(e), if excess proceeds result from the sale.
Additional information may be obtained by visiting the Tax Collector’s website at (website address), by contacting the county tax collector at (address), or by calling (phone number).
