CA AB2021

Requires every county tax collector to post information on their website about how to obtain lists of tax-defaulted properties subject to sale, including available formats and typical processing times for requests.

Exempts tax collectors that already maintain a freely accessible list of all tax-defaulted properties subject to sale on their website or internet portal for public agencies and qualified nonprofit organizations.

Mandates the State Controller's office to publish an annual report (beginning January 1, 2024) showing the number of tax sale agreements completed, broken down by type of purchaser (government agencies, nonprofits, etc.) and whether the intended use is affordable housing.

Requires tax collector websites to include information on request costs, payment methods, and whether public agencies or nonprofits can obtain lists for free or at reduced cost.

Provides that if the Commission on State Mandates determines this bill imposes state-mandated costs on local agencies, reimbursement shall be made according to existing statutory procedures.
