What about Excess Proceeds? Am I eligible?

Excess Proceeds will be held in trust and Parties of Interest, as defined by Revenue and Taxation Code section 4675, will be notified and may file a claim for excess proceeds up to one year from the recordation of the tax deed to the purchaser. Parties of interest and their order of priority, per Code Section 4675, are:

  1. First, lienholders of record prior to the recordation of the tax deed to the purchaser in the order of their priority; and
  2. Then, any person with title of record to all or any portion of the property prior to the recordation of the tax deed to the purchaser.

The final excess proceeds amounts will be less due to costs and fees associated with the excess proceeds process. If you are a Party of Interest, you will receive notification from our office after the Tax-Defaulted Land sale. If you do not receive said notification within 90 days from the recordation of the tax deed to the purchaser, and have documentation you are a Party of Interest, please contact our office at 530-889-4129. Requests for information regarding Excess Proceeds may be obtained by submitting a written request by mail to our office or email the Treasurer-Tax Collector.
