DISCLAIMERS

All sales are final. There are absolutely no refunds.

All bidders must be at least 18 years of age.

Research and Inspect Thoroughly Before You Bid.

Prospective purchasers are urged to examine the title, physical location, and desirability

of the properties available to their own satisfaction prior to the sale.

Properties are sold “AS IS.”

CAUTION - INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU BID:

The sale of these properties should not, in any way, be equated to real estate sales by

licensed salespeople, brokers or realtors. The County of Riverside makes no guarantee,

expressed or implied, relative to the title, physical location, or condition of the properties

for sale.

Delinquent property taxes will be paid from the proceeds of the sale, as they are

included in the minimum bid. The current 2023/2024 taxes which are due by December

11, 2023 and April 10, 2024 are included in the minimum bid.

When consideration or value of the interest or property conveyed exceeds one hundred

dollars ($100) a California Documentary Transfer Tax will be added to and collected with

the purchase price. The amount of this tax is calculated at the rate of $0.55 for each

$500.00, or fractional part thereof in accordance with the provisions of Revenue and

Taxation Code Section 11911. Additionally, the City of Riverside has enacted the Real

Property Transfer Tax Ordinance and charges an additional tax of $0.55 for each

$500.00 or fractional part thereof.

Prospective purchasers are advised that some liens, bonds, or other assessments which

are levied by agencies or offices other than the Treasurer-Tax Collector may still be

outstanding after the tax sale.

The Riverside County Treasurer-Tax Collector requires that anyone wishing to

participate as a bidder at a scheduled tax sale be registered to bid. Registration

requirements vary from sale to sale and are announced approximately six to eight weeks

prior to a scheduled sale.

Matthew Jennings

Treasurer-Tax Collector

The County makes no guarantee or warranty, whether expressed or implied, relative to the

usability, the ground location, or property lines of the properties. The prospective purchaser must

determine the exact physical location, desirability, and usefulness of the properties. The County

assumes no liability for any other possible liens, encumbrances, or easements, recorded or

not recorded.

The sale of these properties should not, in any way, be equated to real estate sales by

licensed salesmen, brokers, or realtors. The County Treasurer-Tax Collector cannot guarantee

the condition of the property nor assume any responsibility for conformance to codes, permits, or

zoning ordinances. You should inspect the property before investing. The burden is on the

purchaser to thoroughly research, before the sale, any matters relevant to his or her

decision to purchase, rather than on the County, whose sole interest is the recovery of

back taxes.

The following information is furnished to the prospective bidder WITHOUT WARRANTY

and is for the convenience and guidance in locating all properties. All items and descriptions

listed are believed to be correct. However, the Treasurer-Tax Collector shall not be held

responsible for typographical errors.

Notice of Contaminated/Possible Contaminated Properties: When we become aware of

properties on our sale list that are known or suspected to be contaminated, we will post the

property information and lead agency’s name on our website for further review. DO NOT bid on

these properties unless you understand the issues related to contaminated properties. Prior to

bidding, you should contact your attorney regarding the possible purchase of contaminated

properties.

Properties that are subject to sale at public auction for non-payment of property taxes

must be offered for sale within four years of the time the property becomes subject to the

Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Power to Sell pursuant to Revenue & Taxation code sec. 3692 (a). The

Treasurer-Tax Collector is responsible for the administration of these sales. The purpose of the

tax sale is to collect the unpaid taxes and to convey the tax-defaulted property to a responsible

owner. These properties are subject to the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Power to Sell because of

defaulted taxes. The Treasurer-Tax Collector’s sole interest in the sale of these properties

through tax sale is the recovery of unpaid property taxes as directed or permitted by law.

Matthew Jennings

Treasurer-Tax Collector

VI. BIDDING INSTRUCTIONS: Before bidding on any property, you must follow the

instructions at www.Bid4Assets.com/Riverside to register as a bidder. A single

refundable deposit of $2,500.00 (plus a $35.00 processing fee) will be required to bid on

the parcels offered for sale by the County. Bid deposits must be in the form of a wire

transfer, certified or cashier’s check and must be in the custody of Bid4Assets no

later than Monday, April 22, 2024. Please make your deposit well in advance of the

auction to ensure your eligibility to bid. The deposit for successful bidders will be

credited towards their purchase(s). Please contact Bid4Assets directly for instructions

and questions pertaining to bid deposits.

The deposit and fee payment shall be accepted by wire transfer or mailing of certified or

cashier’s check, made payable to Lockbox Services 786825, Bid4Assets Escrow

Account FBO1, MAC Y1372-045, 401 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19106. You must

reference your User# and Auction ID for proper application.

Bidding will be in increments of $100.00. Higher increments are acceptable should the

bidders wish to expedite the sale. Bidders who do not have internet access may contact

Bid4Assets to obtain an Offline Bidding Form by calling 301-650-9193.

Payment in full is due to Bid4Assets by 1:00 p.m., Pacific Time on Friday, May 3,

2024. No Exceptions. We take bidder performance very seriously and expect every

winning bidder to complete their transaction. A “non-performing” winning bidder

will forfeit their entire $2,500.00 deposit. Acceptable forms of payment are by wire

transfer, certified or cashier’s check. No personal checks, money orders, traveler’s

checks, or credit card payments will be accepted. There is a $35.00 payment

processing fee for each item purchased. Payments more than the total purchase price

will be refunded by mail within 60 days. To ensure that a certified or cashier’s check

payment is received timely, USPS Express Mail, UPS, and Federal Express are

suggested as reliable delivery services. If payment policy is not adhered to, the

successful bidder may be banned from future sales. If you have any questions about

making the payment, please contact Bid4Assets.

Matthew Jennings

Treasurer-Tax Collector

Successful bidders will be required to submit their deed information to Bid4Assets

indicating how they want their new property to be conveyed. The deed slip information

must be confirmed and submitted to Bid4Assets within 48 hours of the close of

the auction. Tax deeds to purchasers will be recorded within 60 days from the close of

the auction. This deed conveys all rights, title, and interest to the property in accordance

with the provisions of Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3712. The successful bidder

may take possession of a property after the tax deed to the purchaser has been

recorded.

Your bid is an irrevocable offer to purchase the asset. Winning bidders who do not

perform on all auctions won will forfeit their deposit to the County.

No bid will be accepted for less than the minimum price as defined by Section 3698.5 of

the Revenue and Taxation Code. State law dictates that the minimum bid for property

offered at a public auction tax sale be an amount not less than the total amount

necessary to redeem the tax default, plus costs and if applicable, the outstanding

balance of any property tax postponement loan. Except, pursuant to Section 3698.5(c) of

the aforesaid code, when property or property interests have been offered at least once

and no acceptable bids were received, the Treasurer-Tax Collector may set a minimum

bid which is derived differently from the properties being offered the first time at the

same or subsequent sale. The current owner may purchase their own property

through tax sale. However, they may not purchase said property at a reduced

price per Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3698.5(d).

Only a registered bidder can purchase tax-defaulted property. If the successful bidder

defaults, the County may take appropriate legal action against the bidder who defaults.

Per Revenue & Taxation code sec. 3456, failure on the part of the successful

bidder to consummate the sale within the specified time shall result in the

forfeiture of the deposit made and all rights that the purchaser may have had with

respect to the property. In addition, the bidder may be banned from future sales.

When consideration or value of the interest or property conveyed exceeds one hundred

dollars ($100) a California Documentary Transfer Tax will be added to and collected with

the purchase price. The amount of this tax is calculated at the rate of $0.55 for each

$500.00, or fractional part thereof in accordance with the provisions of Revenue and

Taxation Code Section 11911. Additionally, the City of Riverside has enacted the Real

Property Transfer Tax Ordinance and charges an additional tax of $0.55 for each

$500.00 or fractional part thereof.

Treasurer-Tax Collector

VII. TAX SALE CANCELLATION RIGHTS OF THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY TREASURER-

TAX COLLECTOR:

As a condition of participating in the County of Riverside Treasurer-Tax Collector’s public

auction, the successful bidder consents to the rescission of the sale as provided in

Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3731, if the County subsequently determines that a

property sold by the Treasurer-Tax Collector should not have been sold because it was

publicly owned property, not in tax-default, or for any other legal reason. To rescind the

sale, if a tax deed has been recorded, the registered bidder agrees to sign all required

forms to cancel and rescind the erroneous sale and understands that the County will

refund only the purchase amount paid, and that the Treasurer-Tax Collector and the

County of Riverside have no further liability in the matter. Additionally, the County has

the authority to rescind a tax deed in accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code

Section 3731(b). If the tax deed has not been recorded, the County of Riverside has the

right to cancel the sale and refund the deposit and purchase price without additional

consent or further action by the purchaser.

VIII. NO AUCTION SALE REFUNDS: There shall be no refund of any purchase price, or any

portion thereof, and no refund of the payment of the documentary transfer tax paid for a

property sold at auction during this tax sale due to a bidder’s or purchaser’s error,

remorse, or failure to exercise due diligence.

IX. BIDDER’S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF AND AGREEMENT TO TERMS AND

CONDITIONS: Each bidder participating in this tax sale shall be deemed to have read,

acknowledged, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions for this tax sale as

herein stated upon payment of the bid deposit and fee.

Matthew Jennings

Treasurer-Tax Collector

BELOW ARE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED CONCERNING OUR

AUCTION TAX SALE OF TAX-DEFAULTED REAL PROPERTIES:

Q. How can I obtain a list of properties to be offered at the next tax sale?

A. A list of the properties will be published three (3) times within the properties’ newspaper circulation

boundary (The Press Enterprise, The Desert Sun, and Palo Verde Valley Times) prior to the sale.

Once the tax sale book becomes available, it can be purchased over the counter for $25.00 or

$30.00 if mailed. All information in the book except for the last assessee(s) name(s) can also be

obtained on the Internet. Please refer to our website

www.countytreasurer.org for updated

information.

Q. What if I do not have a computer with internet access?

A. Almost all public libraries have computers available with internet access. Call your local library for

further information regarding computer availability.

Q. Can I obtain a property available at the internet auction tax sale by paying the delinquent

taxes thereon prior to the tentative tax sale date?

A. No, legal title to tax-defaulted property subject to Power of Sale can be obtained through the

Treasurer-Tax Collector only by being the successful bidder at the tax sale.

Q. Can I purchase my own property at tax sale?

A. Yes, you may purchase your own property at a tax sale. However, you may not purchase said

property, directly or indirectly, at a price below the minimum price determined for full redemption.

Section 3698.5 (d)

Q. How do I find or "see" a property I'd like to bid on at the tax sale?

Vacant ("unimproved") land (which accounts for most property offered at our tax sales) usually has no address and

therefore its approximate geographic location can be determined using the County Assessor plat maps, Map My

County or perhaps a Thomas Map Book. The Assessor’s plat maps are available on their website www.rivcoacr.org

or at 4080 Lemon St., 1

Fl., Riverside, CA 92501. Map My County is available on the Transportation & Land

Management Agency website

https://rcitgis-countyofriverside.hub.arcgis.com. Exact boundary lines of a property

can be determined only by a survey of the property initiated at the purchaser's expense. "Improved" properties

frequently (but not always) will bear a "situs" (street) address, making it quite simple to assess the physical location.

A “situs” (street) address does not mean that there are improvements on the property or that these improvements

are on the sale.

Q. Do all properties with an address have a home on them?

A. No, an address does not mean there is or was a structure on the property.

Matthew Jennings

Treasurer-Tax Collector

Q. How can I pay for a property through Bid4Assets?

A. Payment must be made by Wire Transfer, Certified Checks or Cashier's Checks. PERSONAL

CHECKS, MONEY ORDERS, TRAVELER'S CHECKS, or CREDIT CARDS ARE NOT

ACCEPTED.

Q. What are the conditions of payment for property at the tax sale?

A. Payment in full of the pending amount bid, a $35.00 processing fee, the California Documentary

Transfer Tax prescribed by County Ordinance #516 sec. 3, and the City of Riverside, Real Property

Transfer Tax is required to be paid by 1:00 p.m., Pacific Time on Friday, May 3, 2024. If full

payment is not made by this deadline, the deposit amount will be forfeited to the Treasurer-

Tax Collector.

Q. Do liens or encumbrances on tax sale properties follow to the new owner through a tax sale

property purchase?

A. Chapter 7, Section 3712 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code is quite specific in answering

the above question. It is quoted verbatim, as follows:

3712. Title conveyed. The deed conveys title to the purchaser free of all encumbrances of any kind existing

before the sale, except:

(a) Any lien for installments of taxes and special assessments, that installments will become payable upon

the secured roll after the time of the sale.

(b) The lien for taxes or assessments or other rights of any taxing agency that does not consent to the sale

under this chapter.

under this chapter, not included in the amount necessary to redeem the tax-defaulted property, and,

where a taxing agency that collects its own taxes has consented to the sale under this chapter, not

included in the amount required to redeem from sale to the taxing agency.

(d) Easements of any kind, including prescriptive, constituting servitudes upon or burdens to the property;

water rights, the record title to which is held separately from the title to the property; and restrictions of

record.

(e) Unaccepted, recorded, irrevocable offers of dedication of the property to the public or a public entity for

a public purpose, and recorded options of any taxing agency to purchase the property or any interest

therein for a public purpose.

(f) Unpaid assessments under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 [commencing with Section

8500] of the Streets and Highways Code) that are not satisfied as a result of the sale proceeds being

applied pursuant to Chapter 1.3 (commencing with Section 4671) of Part 8, or that are being collected

through a foreclosure action pursuant to Part 14 (commencing with Section 8830) of Division 10 of the

Streets and Highways Code. A sale pursuant to this chapter shall not nullify, eliminate, or reduce the

amount of a foreclosure judgment pursuant to Part 14 (commencing with Section 8830) of Division 10

of the Streets and Highways Code.

(g) Any federal Internal Revenue Service liens that, pursuant to provisions of federal law, are not

discharged by the sale, even though the tax collector has provided proper notice to the Internal

Revenue Service before that date.

(h) Unpaid special taxes under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 [Chapter 2.5

(commencing with Section 53311) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code] that are

not satisfied as a result of the sale proceeds being applied pursuant to Chapter 1.3 (commencing with

Section 4671) of Part 8, or that are being collected through a foreclosure action pursuant to Section

53356.1 of the Government Code. A sale pursuant to this chapter shall not nullify, eliminate, or

reduce the amount of a foreclosure judgment pursuant to Section 53356.1 of the Government Code.

Matthew Jennings

Treasurer-Tax Collector

Q. How can I find out about liens for Improvement Bonds, which would not be eliminated by

the sale?

A. The presence of 1911 Act, 1915 Act, Special Assessment District Bonds, and Community Facility

District Bonds (CFD) would be revealed by a title search which is recommended prior to bidding on

property. Information about the liens may be obtained from the City, County or Special District

Office in which the property is located. Some of these districts may offer special payment plans;

however, you will want to contact them directly for more information regarding these payment plans.

Q. How can I determine what use I can make of a tax sale property before I purchase it?

A. The Zoning Department of any city in which a property lies or the Planning Section of the County

Department of Transportation and Land Management Agency for an unincorporated area parcel

(example: not lying within a city boundary) should be consulted by a prospective purchaser

regarding the specific use of the parcel. The County Recorder's records should be consulted for

any recorded easements on a property, if any.

Q. How soon can I take possession of a property after my purchase at the tax sale?

A. The successful bidder may take possession of a property after the Tax Deed to Purchaser has

been recorded.

Q. How is the minimum bid on a tax sale property determined?

A. State law dictates that the minimum bid for property offered at a public auction tax sale be an

amount not less than the total amount necessary to redeem the tax default, plus costs and if

applicable, the outstanding balance of any property tax postponement loan. Except, pursuant to

Section 3698.5(c) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, when property or property

interests have been offered at a previous sale and no acceptable bids were received, the Treasurer-

Tax Collector may offer that property or property interest at a minimum bid that is less than the

amount of the tax default, plus cost.

Q. Is a tax sale publicly advertised?

A. Yes, in accordance with the provisions of Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3702, State law

dictates that the event of a tax sale must be published three (3) times in successive seven (7) day

intervals before the tax sale date in a newspaper (The Press Enterprise, The Desert Sun, and Palo

Verde Valley Times) or newspapers within the properties’ newspaper circulation boundary, the first

publication date being not less than twenty-one (21) days prior to the date of the sale.

Matthew Jennings

Treasurer-Tax Collector

Q. When does the right of redemption on a tax-defaulted parcel subject to the Power to Sell

cease?

A. The right of redemption on a tax-defaulted parcel subject to the Treasurer-Tax Collector's Power

to Sell ceases at the close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale

(example: at 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.) Unlike some other states,

there is no extended right of redemption in the State of California.

Q. How soon may I begin improvement of the property after my purchase?

A. There is a one (1) year period, after the date the tax deed is executed that a proceeding based on

alleged invalidity or irregularity can be commenced, pursuant to Section 3725 of the California

Revenue and Taxation Code.

Q. If there is a Mobile Home on the parcel being sold, am I bidding on the Mobile Home also?

A. Unless the mobile home has a permanent foundation, you are bidding only on the land. Mobile

homes are considered personal property unless they have a permanent foundation.

Q. What happens to the properties that are not sold at the auction? Can tax sale properties be

purchased directly from the County?

A. If no acceptable bids are received for a property, it will be offered again at intervals of no more than

six (6) years until the property is sold, pursuant to Section 3692(a) of the California Revenue and

Taxation Code. Legal title to tax-defaulted property subject to Power of Sale can be obtained

through the Treasurer-Tax Collector only by being the successful bidder at the tax sale.

Additionally, pursuant to Section 3698.5(c) of said code, the Treasurer-Tax Collector may re-offer

the property at any time for a minimum bid that is set at the discretion of the Treasurer-Tax Collector

and approved by the County Board of Supervisors.

Q. Are the current taxes included in the purchase price?

A. The current 2023/2024 taxes which are due December 11, 2023 and April 10, 2024 are included

in the minimum bid.

Q. What happens if there are tenants or owners still occupying the house after the property

has been purchased at tax sale?

A. Once the tax deed has been recorded and has transferred into the purchaser’s name it will be the

purchaser’s responsibility to contact the tenants or owners to make arrangements for them to leave

the property or contact the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office to go through the eviction process.

Matthew Jennings

Treasurer-Tax Collector

Q. Can I obtain title insurance for a property purchased at tax sale?

A. Most title companies will not insure title on property purchased at tax sale for at least one (1) year

after the date the tax deed to purchaser is recorded. No assurance is made that a purchaser will

be able to secure title insurance on property purchased at tax sale. It is the responsibility of the

purchaser to do their due diligence regarding the title prior to purchasing the property. The

County of Riverside makes no guarantee or warranty, either expressed or implied, relative to

obtaining title insurance.

If you have any further questions, please contact the Riverside County Treasurer-Tax

Collector’s Tax Sale Operations unit at 951-955-3985.

PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION

The Assessor's map parcel number when used to describe property in this list refers to the

Assessor's map book, the map page and block number in the book and the individual parcel

number on the map page or within the block. For example, parcel number 507286003 would mean

book 507 of the Assessor's maps, block 286 (the assigned block number is a combination of the

map page number and block number. Map 28, block 6), parcel 003 within that block. The maps

referred to are available for inspection at the County Assessor’s Office or online at

www.rivcoacr.org.

the real property. Parcel Identification Numbers (PIN’s) 009000000 through 009199999 would

denote portional fee ownership in Government Land or community apartments. Parcel

Identification Numbers (PIN’s) 010000000 through 019999999 would denote timeshare estates.

Parcel Identification Numbers (PIN’s) 009400000 through 009499999 would denote water and

mineral rights the fee of which is held separate from the real property.
