Use Los Angeles County's page only for Los Angeles sales
This guide is limited to County tax-defaulted-property sale excess under Revenue and Taxation Code section 4675, statewide Controller guidance, and Los Angeles County's local implementation; mortgage foreclosure is outside this packet.
Sale type and custodian control
Different statutes, counties, courts, notices, and custody transitions are not interchangeable.
A party of interest at the time of sale may file a county claim in proportion to that interest and equal-priority interests.
Run a free name check — no upfront fees. Or call (307) 323-4303.
The Controller guide explains the tax-defaulted-property excess framework, while the county board or delegated officer evaluates the actual claim.
The retained county page publishes notices and self-service instructions for Los Angeles County; it is not California's universal form or filing endpoint.
Record-first workflow
Verify the live official record at every step; this orientation does not decide a claimant's rights.
The retained one-year claim period runs after recordation of the tax collector's deed to the purchaser, not merely from the auction date.
Preserve recorded liens, title at sale, assignments, and other proof the county requires; lienholders of record precede titleholders in the retained order.
Use the selling county's notice, submission address, delivery method, and proof requirements rather than importing Los Angeles mechanics statewide.
No unsupported form or deadline
Use only dates and filing mechanics tied to the confirmed sale type, statute, custodian, and retained source.
Collect the sale number, parcel, sale date, purchaser, tax collector's deed, recordation date, and county notice.
Gather the title record, liens, releases, assignments, estate authority, and county accounting needed to establish the claimed share.
For Los Angeles County only, preserve the current notice version, county claim materials, delivery proof, and county response.
