§ 12902 Tax Redemption Payment Distribution

• •If land is sold because taxes weren't paid, and someone pays to get it back, the money goes to the right places.
• •The county splits the money fairly between the district and others based on how much tax was owed to each.
• •This only happens in areas that follow a special rule (Section 12897).

Imagine your neighbor’s house was sold because they didn’t pay taxes. Later, they pay to get it back.

The money they paid doesn’t all go to one place. The county splits it up. If the district was owed $1,000 out of a total $5,000 tax bill, the district gets $1,000 of the redemption money.
