§ 96229 Tax Redemption Payment Distribution

Key Takeaways

  • •If your house is sold because you didn't pay taxes, and you later pay to get it back, the money you paid goes to the right places.
  • •The county treasurer splits up the money you paid to get your house back.
  • •The money is split based on how much each tax group was owed.

Example

You didn't pay your property taxes, so your house was sold. Later, you paid $5,000 to get it back.

The county treasurer will take that $5,000 and split it up. If $3,000 was for school taxes and $2,000 was for city taxes, the school gets $3,000 and the city gets $2,000.
