Article 4. Redemption of California Water Code >> Division 14. >> Part 9. >> Chapter 8. >> Article 4.

Any person interested in property sold pursuant to this chapter may redeem it at any time within three years after the date of sale by paying to the county treasurer a sum equal to the purchase price stated in the certificate, with interest thereon at the rate of 12 percent per year from the date of sale to the date of redemption.

If no redemption is made within three years, the county treasurer, upon demand and surrender of the certificate of purchase, shall execute to the purchaser, his heirs or assigns, a deed of conveyance of the parcel of land described in the certificate.

The deed shall convey the land to the grantee free and clear of all encumbrances, except state, county, and municipal taxes, assessments or taxes levied or assessed by or under statutory authority, and any district assessment, or portion thereof, remaining unpaid at the date of the sale, installments of which may be called and collected as provided in this division.

No parcel sold and conveyed to the district shall thereafter be subject to sale by the county treasurer for delinquent installments.

Every deed by a county treasurer purporting to be executed under this chapter shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the matters therein recited, and of ownership by the grantee of the land therein described.
