State guide

How government auctions work in California

Tax deed state

California counties sell tax-defaulted property outright at tax collector auctions, most of them held online, after the parcel has been delinquent for five years. There are no tax lien certificate sales in California.

Redemption period
The owner's right to redeem ends at the close of business the day before the sale; after the auction there is no redemption, although the sale may be challenged for a limited period (commonly one year).
Interest or penalty
Not applicable — buyers take the deed at auction, and the county keeps the redemption penalties paid by owners beforehand.

Who sells in California

  • County tax collector tax-defaulted property auctions (Los Angeles, Butte and every other county)
  • California DGS surplus state real property
  • Caltrans excess right-of-way and airspace parcels
  • Surplus Land Act notices of availability from local agencies
  • University surplus stores such as UC San Diego's Surplus Sales

How it works for a first-time buyer

County tax collectors publish the parcel list about a month before the sale and run bidding online through a vendor portal, with a refundable deposit required to register. Winning bidders pay in full within the county's deadline, often days, and receive a tax deed recorded by the county. The deed is normally uninsurable until the one-year challenge period runs, so plan on a quiet-title action if you intend to sell. Inspect from the street only, and check for IRS liens and easements, which survive the sale.

General information, not legal advice — the official sale notice controls. Last reviewed September 2026.

California auction FAQ

Is California a tax lien or tax deed state?

California is a tax deed state. Each county tax collector auctions tax-defaulted parcels to the highest bidder, and no lien certificates are offered to investors.

How long is the redemption period in California?

There is no redemption period after the sale; the owner must redeem before the auction begins. Buyers should still expect the one-year window during which a sale can be challenged in court.

Where does California sell surplus state property and vehicles?

State real estate is offered through the DGS Real Estate Services Division and the Caltrans excess-land program, while state vehicles and equipment are sold through the DGS surplus property warehouse and online auction listings.
