What is CA AB 2705 about?
Under existing property tax law, if unpaid property taxes are declared delinquent and 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 authorizes any party of interest in property that is sold as a tax-defaulted property to file a claim with the county for the excess proceeds, as described. Existing law requires a person or entity who acts on behalf of, or in place of, any party of interest with respect to filing a claim for any excess proceeds to submit proof with the claim of certain disclosures, including that the party of interest has been advised of their right to file a claim for the excess proceeds on their own behalf directly with the county at no cost. Existing law requires a claim submitted as described above to contain any information and proof deemed necessary by the board of supervisors to establish the claimant's rights to all or any portion of the excess proceeds. This bill would subject an agreement between a party of interest and a person or entity who acts on behalf of, or in place of, a party of interest with respect to filing a claim for any excess proceeds to additional conditions, as specified. In that regard, the bill would require the agreement to, among other things, be in writing and to be signed by the party of interest after receipt of specified information. The bill would exempt specified parties of interest from the provision above and would limit the provision to agreements entered into on or after January 1, 2027. This bill would authorize the county to allow a claimant to correct any insubstantial deficiency in the documentation submitted with the claim as described above, as specified.
