Riverside County to Sell Tax Defaulted Property

- The County of Riverside Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office published the notice of Impending Power to Sell Tax Defaulted Property on Wednesday, May 15, and has scheduled the final publication for Friday, May 24. Currently, there are 2,248 tax defaulted properties within the five years or more time lapsed since nonpayment of property taxes and will potentially become eligible for public auction.  “Our office is eager to be proactive and outreach to the community,” said Matthew Jennings, Riverside County’s Treasurer-Tax Collector. “Ultimately, our goal is to ensure proper noticing, but also being engaged with property owners on the alternatives and resources available to assist them with their status.”  To find out if your property is on the tax defaulted list: https://countytreasurer.org/tax-collector/published-notice-taxpayers If applicable, the right to an installment plan terminates on June 30, 2024, property owners may redeem or secure an installment plan of redemption on or before June 30, 2024. Following June 30, the entire balance must be paid in full to prevent the sale of the tax defaulted property at a public auction.   The amount to redeem is shown for each assessment, which includes penalties and interest from the original default date through May 31, 2024. Additional penalties, interest, and tax sale fees will apply if paid after May 31, 2024.   For additional information, visit countytreasurer.org or call the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office at 951-955-1961.
