***** IMPORTANT ADVICE !!! *****
Research Before You Buy
PARCELS ARE SOLD ON AN “AS IS” BASIS AND PLACER COUNTY ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE PROPERTIES ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING ORDINANCES, CONFORM TO BUILDING CODES AND PERMITS OR THE SITUS ADDRESS. NO GOVERNMENT ENTITY IS LIABLE FOR DAMAGES SUSTAINED TO PROPERTY PURCHASED AT PUBLIC AUCTION, INCLUDING FROM THE TIME OF THE SALE UNTIL THE RECORDATION OF THE TAX DEED TO THE PURCHASER.
The sale of these properties should not, in any way, be equated to real estate sales by licensed salesmen, brokers and realtors. The County Treasurer/Tax Collector and the County cannot and does not guarantee, warranty or make any representation regarding the condition of the property nor assume any responsibility for conformance to codes, permits or zoning ordinances.
******************************
You should inspect the property before buying. The burden is on the purchaser to thoroughly research before the sale, any matters relevant to his or her decision to purchase, including all continuing assessments.
******************************
It is recommended that bidders consult with the Zoning Department of any city within which a particular parcel lies, or the County Planning Department for an unincorporated area parcel.
Tax-defaulted property will be sold on an "as is" basis.
******************************
PLEASE NOTE: PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE ADVISED THAT SOME BONDS OR OTHER ASSESSMENTS WHICH ARE LEVIED BY AGENCIES OR OFFICES OTHER THAN THE TREASURER-TAX COLLECTOR MAY STILL BE OUTSTANDING AFTER THE TAX SALE. IN ADDITION, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS THE OPTION OF RECOMPENSING UP UNTIL 120 DAYS AFTER THE SALE ANY PROPERTY ON WHICH THERE IS AN I.R.S. LIEN RECORDED.
Those encumbrances that continue, primarily liens of special assessments and easements, are described in Section No. 3712 of the Revenue & Taxation Code.
******************************
Should the successful purchaser desire a survey of the property, this must be done at the purchaser’s own initiative and expense. No warranty is made by the county, either expressed or implied, relative to usability, the ground location or property lines of the properties. The exact location, desirability and usefulness of the properties must be determined by the prospective purchaser.
******************************
Tax-defaulted property will be sold on an “as is” basis.
All Sales are Final
