California Tax-Defaulted Excess Proceeds Intelligence
Structured public records intelligence indexing Chapter 7 tax-defaulted auction surplus balances across Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties.
California Statutory Procedure (Cal. Rev. & Tax Code § 4675)
Under California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC) § 4675, any excess proceeds remaining after the sale of tax-defaulted real property and the satisfaction of delinquent taxes and statutory administrative fees are retained in trust by the County Treasurer-Tax Collector.
Strict 1-Year Claim Deadline
Under R&TC § 4675(a), parties of interest must file a formal written claim for excess proceeds within exactly one (1) year from the date of the recordation of the tax collector's deed to the purchaser. Claims submitted after 365 days are barred by statute.
Statutory Priority Waterfall
R&TC § 4675(e) establishes that recorded lienholders (deeds of trust, mechanics liens, judgment liens) take senior priority in order of their recording date, followed by former titleholders of record.
