If a property owner fails to pay their federal and state taxes on the property on time, the property will be considered delinquent and a 10 percent additional penalty charge will accrue on the liable tax. An owner has to pay the taxes plus all additional penalty charges to prevent their taxing authority from selling their property. In California, homeowners may lose their property to such a sale if they fail to pay their taxes for five consecutive years.

In California, the tax collector is prohibited by law to sell a property to cover delinquent taxes without sending prior notice to the property owner. The notice must be sent through certified mail no longer than 120 days to the sale or less than 45 days. The notice must also be published in the district’s newspaper or post the notice in a minimum of three public places. The latter may be done if the district has no newspaper.
