Tax Deed Sales in California?

This does not sound exactly right... but I'll take a stab...\n\nYou are buying a deed... so yes, you would have ownership... not a claim against title like as in a lien purchase.\n\nI can see what you are saying about the one year period... essentially this is how liens work (although I'm not a title agent who would be able to advise you better).\n\nThe more that I'm thinking about this... the reason that you will not be able to get title insurance is because you are buying an inferior deed type.  You will probably have to go through a process to cure any 'potential' defects to title.  Like advertising ownership and intention to cure defects in newspapers through public notice.\n\nBut because other liens might be outstanding, and probably very likely, this is why you are not getting a Warantee deed.  The defective deed type presents significant risk and their are to be likely other claims to title.

You'd have to look up the laws of the appropriate state, but in general tax lien sales take many years before you gain possession (5 years?). The delinquent may at any time re-claim the property by paying the taxes. They'd have to go like 5 years and never pay, then you could get a quit-claim deed (or something like that), then I think wait a few more years before the property is actually yours.

In Texas and in many other states you take the physical address to the County Appraisal District. Some states use the Tax Assessors Office. There you can cross reference the address to the land. When you do this you will find a book and page number which you can take to the Clerk of Courts or County Clerks office and look up the actual deed to the property. The Deed will show you the actual owners. Sometimes the owners are deceased and the heirs are not aware or do not care about the property. In that case you will have to research the owners names elsewhere. (Another class) Pleae note that you may get a name and address at the taxing authority also, the address where the tax bill is sent to the owner may not be same address as the land you are interested in. This is the case in all rental property.

Ha!  That's funny.\n\nIf you move in mid-year, you will still pay taxes in both states.  It will be prorated, but prorated on your income for the whole year, I believe.  So that wouldn't help you.\n\nThe only real solution would be to move for a whole year, I suspect, from January 1 all the way thru Dec. 31 of the same year, at least. Keeping your house and renting it out shouldn't be a problem, but if California catches wind that the move isn't 'real' (and who knows how they'd interpret that), they may come after you for tax fraud.  On the other hand, if you did move for real, then California wouldn't have any claim on your taxes any longer.  Since taxes on capital gains are not realized until the stock is sold, you should come out ok.\n\nIt wouldn't hurt to check that with a tax accountant in your proposed new state just to be sure, but I'm reasonably certain of it.

In my county, they hold a tax sale on a certain date after the last tax payment is due (usually it's a month after the 2nd installment was due)...and...you have 3 years to redeem your taxes (plus interest plus fees, it's not too much actually)---if in that 3 years you do NOT redeem your taxes, then the creep that "bought" your taxes PAYS your taxes and THEY OWN YOUR PROPERTY!\nWord from the wise: DO NOT fall for any "we'll pay your taxes for you" mortages, or services, etc. These are all scams. If it sounds too good to be true..>IT IS<!!!

California properties are only taxed through the county in which they are located. Though that is technically correct, you will find that a city tax might be on the county tax, because the county collects the tax and forward it to the city in which the property is located.\n\nEach county is different as each city charge different taxes and at different rates. Also some properties are covered by proposition 13 which is a tax intuitive that was passed in the 70's. because of the city in which a property is located you would find one person's tax higher than another that is in the same county located about 5-10 miles apart. The other part to the county tax is the value of the property. So a house even in the same city would have a different tax value based on the value of the house.\n\nProperty taxes are due twice yearly once in April and the other month is November.\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

You have to look up the Property Tax Authority or County assessor & look up the owners name.  Once you have that look up the county recorder's office to see if you can do an online document search for an recorded deed of trusts for example.  It will show all liens against a person & the document will show show the parcel or operty address its tied too on the document.  Some Counties hold this info private & you may have a hard time getting this (if your in some parts of CA).

you don't really have the right to live there, but after paying taxes for 3 years, you can apply for a Tax Deed through the County Treasurer's office.\n\nSomeone would have to complain about you living there, such as the owner, but the odds are that no one cares since taxes are owed, and probably other debts and liens.

That depends.  If it was your principal residence, and if you lived in it for 2 out of the last 5 years immediately prior to the sale, then you may exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 if married filing jointly) in gain from federal taxes.  Excess gains are taxed as capital gains, as is the entire gain if you don't meet the ownership, residency and/or occupancy conditions.\n\nCA law may vary on that.  Consult a tax advisor in CA for full details.

This is a tricky one.\n\nYou would pay capital gains taxes on the difference between the sale price and the basis.  The basis would include the original cost plus any improvements.  The property taxes were probably deducted each year so you can not add those to the basis.  You may get a "stepped-up" basis for half of the land based on the fair market value of land on the date of his death.\n\nIt is time to see a professional.  I would not attempt this on your own.

Yes of curse, get in touch with your county tax collector's office. Some counties have a combined assessor/collector. They will sell unpaid taxes either at auction sales or on an individual basis.

Just copy what was on the previous deed, changing the dates and names to the new ones.\n\nSince you don't say what state you are in - if you are even in the US of A, no one can answer you. The chances are there is no legal form, but just language that lawyers use in your area.

didyousearch was correct but I wouldn't advise you filling it out yourself. You need to speak to a Title Agent or real estate attorney. There are specific clauses the need to be on the deed to convey it properly for example marrital status and or a homestead clause. There are others that could possibly be needed as well.

you must have a survey on the part you wish to deed to them. Have that recorded in the court house. Then it will be given a leagal discription. If the land has any mortgage on it at this time you must get a partial release from the current lender. Once all of this is done you can quit claim the property or sell it to them. A title conpany can do all the paper work and filing for you. You have to get the survey yourself.
