County online auction to feature 313 properties

SAN DIEFO – Bidders who did not get to buy property in San Diego County’s April online auction will now get a second chance.

San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister opened bidder registration for the 2019 online reoffer property tax auction, featuring 313 properties.

“We want to give prospective buyers another shot at buying a piece of beautiful San Diego County,” McAllister said. “Most of the available properties are timeshares – all starting at $100 – so we want to encourage people across the country to take advantage of these great deals.”

Those who wish to participate must register as a bidder by July 3. To sign up, visit the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s tax sale website, http://www.sdttc.mytaxsale.com and submit a refundable $1,000 deposit, plus a non-refundable $35 processing fee.

The online auction will take place from July 12-17, and it will include 258 timeshares, 20 improved properties, homes or businesses, and 35 unimproved properties and land.

The properties were left over from the TTC’s initial auction in April, during which buyers purchased 286 parcels for totaling $2,630,200.

“Our online auction allows us to reach bidders from across the U.S.,” McAllister said. “During our April auction, we saw buyers from across California, Arizona, Utah, Michigan, Missouri, Maryland, Colorado, Nevada, New York and Florida.”

California law states that if owners do not pay their property taxes for five years or more, the county can auction off the properties to recover the back taxes. Current owners of the parcels have until 5 p.m., July 11, to pay the defaulted taxes and fees to avoid a sale.
