How California Tax Sales Work

Sale Type
Tax Deed
California sells the actual property deed at auction. The winning bidder receives ownership of the property (subject to certain surviving liens and title clearing requirements).
Redemption Period
No redemption
Tax-defaulted property sold at auction after 5+ years delinquent. No post-sale redemption.
Avg Property Tax Rate
0.76%
Below the national average (1.1%). Lower tax rates often mean smaller opening bids and lien amounts.
Homestead Rules
Special Rules Apply
Prop 13 limits assessment increases to 2%/year.
Investor Notes for California:
CA has no post-sale redemption. Properties must be 5+ years delinquent to reach auction. CRITICAL: check for environmental contamination (Superfund sites, Phase I). Mello-Roos special assessments survive the sale. Very competitive auctions in populated counties.

Common Liens & Pitfalls in California

  • IRS federal tax liens
  • Environmental cleanup liens (major risk)
  • Special assessments (Mello-Roos)
