Article 1. Generally of California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 1. >> Part 6. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 1.
(a) Annually, on or before June 8, the tax collector shall
publish a notice of impending default for failure to pay taxes on
real property, except tax-defaulted property and possessory
interests, the taxes, assessments, penalties, and costs on which will
have not been fully paid by the close of business on June 30, or the
next business day if June 30 falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal
holiday.
(b) If the tax collector sends reminder notices prior to the close
of the fiscal year and annually sends a redemption notice of prior
year due taxes, the notice required by subdivision (a) shall only
include properties that have been tax-delinquent for three or more
years and for which the latest reminder notice or redemption notice
was returned to the tax collector as undeliverable.
The notice shall be in the form of an affidavit and shall
show:
(a) That unless paid, the amount due shall be in default.
(b) The time at which the default will occur by operation of law.
(c) The fact that if tax defaulted, the real property may be
redeemed by the payment of the amount of defaulted taxes together
with such additional penalties and fees as prescribed by law, or that
the real property may be redeemed under an installment plan of
redemption.
(d) The fact that tax-defaulted real property will be subsequently
sold in satisfaction of the tax lien unless that property is
redeemed or an installment plan of redemption is initiated and
maintained.
(e) The fact that a publication of a detailed listing of all real
property which is tax defaulted will be initiated on or before
September 8th, unless that property is sooner redeemed.
Publication shall be made pursuant to Section 6063 of the
Government Code in the county. If no newspaper of general circulation
is published in the county, the publication shall be made by posting
in three public places in the county. The cost of publication shall
be at no more than the rate fixed by the board of supervisors for
other county advertising.
