CA AB3288

Moves the deadline for taxing agencies to file objections to tax-defaulted property sales from before the date of sale to before the date of first publication of notice of intended sale.

Requires claims for excess proceeds from tax-defaulted property sales to be deposited in the United States mail in a sealed envelope or with an IRS-designated independent delivery service to be considered timely.

Establishes that claims for excess proceeds are deemed received on the post office cancellation mark date or the independent delivery service shipment date shown on the packing slip or air bill.

Specifies that if a mailed claim lacks an official postmark, the filing date is the date the county treasurer-tax collector's office receives it.
