Bidders must submit a refundable deposit of $500.00 + $35 processing fee to participate in the auction. Bid deposits must be in the form of a wire transfer or certified check and must be in the custody of Bid4Assets no later than Monday, May 12, 2025. The $500 deposit will be applied to the successful bidder’s purchase price.
Full payment of winning bid(s) and deed information indicating how title should be vested is required within 3 business days after the end of the sale. Only wire transfers and cashier checks will be accepted for payment. A California transfer tax will be added to and collected with the purchase price and is calculated at $.55 per each $500 or fraction thereof.
All property is sold as is. The county and its employees are not liable for the failure of any electronic equipment that may prevent a person from participating in the sale.
The right of redemption will cease Thursday, May 15, 2025 at the close of business (5:00 p.m. PT) and properties not redeemed will be sold. If a parcel is not sold, the right of redemption revives up to the close of business of the last business day prior to the next scheduled sale.

If the properties are sold, parties of interest, as defined in California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 4675, have a right to file a claim with the county for any excess proceeds from the sale. Excess proceeds are the amount of the highest bid in excess of the liens and costs of the sale that are paid from the sale price. Notice will be given to parties of interest, pursuant to law, if excess proceeds result from the sale.

PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION
The Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) when used to describe property in this list refers to the Assessor’s map book, the map page, the block on the map, if applicable, and the individual parcel number on the map page or in the block.
A parcel number, such as 048-523-013-000, is analyzed as follows: 048 would be the map book number, 523 would be map page 52, and block 3 (if the “3” were a “0”, that page would not contain a block), 013 is the parcel number, and 000 is a coded suffix to the parcel number denoting the interest held in parcel 013.
The suffixes used in conjunction with the parcel number are as follows:
-000 Total ownership of interest and rights
The maps referred to are available for inspection in the office of the Assessor, 204 South Court Street, Alturas, California, or on the web site: www.bid4assets.com/modoc.
The properties that are the subject of this notice are situated in Modoc County, California, and are described as follows:
I certify (or declare), under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct.
