There is one day left to register to bid on one of 400 properties that are currently available in the 2023 online property tax auction, San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister announced. 

Anyone can bid during the online property tax auction from March 10-15, but bidders must register before March 2 at the Treasurer-Tax Collctor’s website at  sdttc.mytaxsale.com. Those who wish to participate must also submit a refundable $1,000 deposit and a non-refundable $35 processing fee. 

According to McAllister, the properties that will be auctioned off have been in tax default for five or more years. 

“In accordance with the California Revenue & Taxation Code, it’s time to get the properties back on the tax roll generating revenue for public services,” said McAllister. “Our online system makes it simple to research and bid on a variety of properties across San Diego County.” 

There are 73 residential or commercial properties, 292 timeshares, and 26 parcels of land for sale, and all sales are final. According to McAllister, the County stands to bring in $3,599,965 in tax revenue if all the properties are sold for the minimum bid.

“Potential bidders who want to receive email reminders about deadlines are encouraged to sign up for e-notifications at sdttc.com,” McAllister said. 

Bidders are recommended to begin the research process on the TTC website. 

According to McAllister’s office, owners of the auctioned properties can still avoid going to sale; they have until 5 p.m. on March 9 to redeem their parcels and pay all taxes and fees owed.
