8220 Sealed Bid: Property Eligible for Sale

8220. GENERAL PROVISIONS
Sealed bid sale procedures may be used for the sale of tax-defaulted property that is subject to the tax collector's power of sale when selling oil, gas, mineral rights, timeshare estate, or miscellaneous parcels that are unusable due to their size, location, or other condition (Rev. & Tax. Code §3692(d)). The tax collector is not required by law to conduct sealed bid sales; however, it can be an effective way to move some types of property off of the abstract.
