Tax Defaulted Properties
Under California Revenue and Taxation code 3691, any property that has unpaid current year or prior year taxes, assessments, penalties and costs that remain unpaid as of July 1st of the current year will be declared delinquent and tax-defaulted by the Tax Collector. If these properties have unpaid balances after five years, they may be sold at a tax auction. To avoid a tax sale, there are two options. First is the payment in full before June 30 of the fifth year. Second is the establishment of an installment payment plan which must be maintained currently and can only be initiated prior to the start of the sixth year of delinquency.
