4524
. (a) Upon the receipt by the tax collector of the entire
amount of the taxes, assessments, and assigned penalties assigned by
a tax certificate, the tax collector shall pay that amount to the
holder of the tax certificate, cancel the tax certificate, and enter
the fact of the cancellation in the tax certificate record opposite
the entry of the sale of the tax certificate. The tax collector shall
make the payments from amounts it receives of those taxes,
assessments, and assigned penalties, whether those amounts are
received by the tax collector by payment of those amounts, by
redemption pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 4101), by sale
of the parcel pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 3436)
of Part 6, or otherwise.
(b) If, pursuant to Section 2636, 2708, 2772, or 4143 or
otherwise, the tax collector receives only an installment or portion
of the amounts in respect of the taxes, assessments, and assigned
penalties (or interest in the case of an installment plan of
redemption) assigned by a tax certificate, the tax collector shall
pay that amount to the holder of the tax certificate and make a
corresponding adjustment to the amounts set forth in the tax
certificate and the tax certificate record.
(c) If, pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 2801) of
Part 5 or Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 4131) of Part 7, part of
an assessment of tax on a parcel specified in a tax certificate is
paid or redeemed, the tax collector shall pay to the holder of the
tax certificate that portion of the payments relating to the amounts
assigned under the tax certificate and shall adjust the information
in the tax certificate and the tax certificate record accordingly.
(d) Any amount collected shall be first applied to the oldest
outstanding certificate. The taxpayer shall still be considered
delinquent with respect to any unredeemed certificate on that
property.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any partial
payment with respect to a tax certificate, including annual payments
from installment plan of redemption, shall be applied to the monthly
penalty (or interest in the case of an installment plan of
redemption) amount first.
(f) This section shall apply notwithstanding any other provision
of Chapter 1C (commencing with Section 4656) or Chapter 1.3
(commencing with Section 4671) of Part 8 or any other provision of
this code to the contrary.
