BACKGROUND:

On 8/22/2023-8/25/2023, the Office of the Tax Collector, with your Board’s approval, conducted a tax sale pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code section 3691 et seq. By 9/15/2023, all the deeds conveying title to the various purchasers at the auction had been recorded. As provided by Section 4676 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, the Tax Collector provided notice of the right to claim excess proceeds on 9/25/2023 to parties of interest as defined in Section 4675 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. The Tax Collector identified the parties of interest by reviewing records, including Assessor’s and Recorder’s records and lot book reports. Parties of interest have made claims for the excess proceeds from the tax sale of Parcel Nos. 037-154-070, 037-257-130, 037-272-010, 037-272-020, 037-273-120, 037-274-010, 037-285-010, 068-244-020, 083-042-090, 083-042-120, 089-013-140.

 

DISCUSSION:

Revenue and Taxation Code section 4675 provides for the distribution of the excess proceeds of tax sales. When property is sold for payment of taxes, the “excess proceeds” from the sale, or that portion not payable for taxes, assessments, costs of sale and notice are payable, upon claim, to person having an interest in the property at the time of the sale. After all liens have been satisfied, any person who had title of record prior to the sale is entitled to claim the excess proceeds. It is the responsibility of the Board of Supervisors to act on such claims, which must contain any information and proof deemed necessary by the Board of Supervisors to establish a claimant’s right to all or any portion of the excess proceeds.

 

The table below lists each parcel sold and for each parcel identifies the amount of excess proceeds, the claimants associated with that parcel, their ownership interest, and the amount claimed by each claimant.
