# California SB 1506 (20172018) — Property taxation: tax collector: notices.

Under existing property tax law, unpaid property taxes are declared delinquent and subject to penalties and costs, and, if the taxes remain unpaid, the property is declared tax-defaulted and subject to sale, as provided, if not redeemed by the owner within a certain amount of time. Existing property tax law requires the tax collector to provide assessees or parties of interest, as applicable, of tax-defaulted property subject to sale with specified notices, including, among others, a notice of default and power to sell the property for nonpayment of taxes, a notice of intended sale, and a notice of proposed sale. Under existing federal law, the filing of certain bankruptcy petitions or an application under the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970, as provided, operate as a stay of specified enforcement and collection actions, except for the issuance by a governmental unit of a notice of tax deficiency.
