How San Diego's tax deed process works
San Diego's tax-defaulted property sale is run by the Treasurer-Tax Collector. California is a deed state with no post-sale redemption: once the auction closes, title transfers (subject to certain surviving encumbrances). Sales typically run through Bid4Assets in spring; opening bids start at the cumulative defaulted taxes.
