If I don't pay my taxes, when would you sell my house?

Five years after the first year of nonpayment, your property becomes Subject to Power to Sell and may be offered at the next scheduled annual public auction. 

Don’t panic! Prior to the end of the fifth year of default, we may have options available for you to bring your taxes current. Give us a call at (925) 608-9500 or e-mail us at [email protected].
