(1) Notwithstanding Section 701.545 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, notice of sale of any lot or parcel included in the
judgment may be given pursuant to Section 701.540 of the Code of
Civil Procedure any time after the expiration of 20 days after the
date notice of levy on the interest in real property was served on
the judgment debtor or debtors, provided that the lot or parcel to be
sold is not a dwelling for not more than four families.
(2) Whenever notice of sale may be given after the expiration of
20 days after the date notice of levy was served as provided in
paragraph (1), the 30-day time period contained in subdivision (h) of
Section 701.540 of the Code of Civil Procedure shall be reduced to
10 days.
(3) Upon proof that the lot or parcel to be sold is not a dwelling
for not more than four families, pursuant to Section 716.020 of the
Code of Civil Procedure, the court shall order that paragraphs (1)
and (2) apply to any judgment previously entered.
(4) Subdivision (b) of this section shall apply instead of
subdivision (a) of Section 701.620 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
(5) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of Section 701.620 of the Code
of Civil Procedure, if the minimum price required to be paid for a
lot or parcel pursuant to subdivision (b) is not obtained at a
foreclosure sale, upon written request of the city, the levying
officer shall retain the writ of sale and, provided that the writ of
sale has not been returned to the court pursuant to paragraph (1) of
subdivision (a) of Section 699.560 of the Code of Civil Procedure,
give notice of sale pursuant to Section 701.540 of the Code of Civil
Procedure without relevying on the property.
(6) As provided elsewhere in this division.
(b) Except as provided in Section 8836, the lot or parcel may not
be sold unless the amount to be paid pursuant to the bid equals or
exceeds the sum of all of the following amounts:
(1) The amount of the judgment with costs and interest thereon.
(2) Costs and interest on the judgment accruing after issuance of
the writ pursuant to which the sale is conducted.

reimburse the special reserve fund, if any, the amount, if any, of
funds advanced from the special reserve fund to the redemption fund
to cover delinquent installments of the assessment or reassessment
and interest with respect to the lot or parcel of property which is
sold. To the extent that the city has advanced funds other than, or
in addition to, funds from a special reserve fund and the funds are
included in the judgment, the obligation of the city to pay into the
redemption fund is reduced by a corresponding amount.
(e) Notwithstanding subdivision (d), the city is not required to
pay into the redemption fund any amount that exceeds in the aggregate
the sum of all of the following:
(1) The amount required to bring current delinquent installments
of the assessment or reassessment and interest with respect to which
the lot or parcel of property is sold.
(2) Simple interest on all the amounts from the dates of
delinquencies until the date of sale, at the rate or rates of the
bonds.
(f) If the lot or parcel of property is sold at the execution sale
to a purchaser other than the city, the city shall pay the sale
proceeds that it receives into the redemption fund. From the amount
that the city is required to pay into the redemption fund, the city
shall reimburse the special reserve fund, if any, the amount, if any,
of funds advanced from the special reserve fund to the redemption
fund to cover delinquent installments of the assessment or
reassessment and interest with respect to the lot or parcel of
property which is sold. If the special reserve fund, if any, is
thereby reimbursed, the city may reimburse other funds advanced by
the city to cover delinquent installments and interest, and may pay
interest and penalties, costs, fees, and other charges, to the extent
that they are included in the sale proceeds received.
(g) Notwithstanding subdivision (f), attorney fees and costs
awarded by the judgment and postjudgment interest are not required to
be paid into the redemption fund.
(h) The foreclosure action shall be governed and regulated by this
division, and where not in conflict with this division, by the
applicable laws of this state.
