Pre-foreclosure in California

Most foreclosures in California are non-judicial: the lender can sell under the power of sale in the deed of trust or mortgage without filing a lawsuit. The first public record is usually a notice of default or a notice of sale, and the process tends to move faster than a court foreclosure, so pre-foreclosure lists here are worth refreshing often.

Tax delinquent property in California

California sells tax-delinquent property itself at tax deed sales once the delinquency runs its course. An owner who stays behind can lose the property outright, which is why tax delinquent lists here are worth working early.

§ Questions

California lists: common questions

Is California a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure state?

Most foreclosures in California are non-judicial: the lender can sell under the power of sale in the deed of trust or mortgage without filing a lawsuit. The first public record is usually a notice of default or a notice of sale, and the process tends to move faster than a court foreclosure, so pre-foreclosure lists here are worth refreshing often.

Is California a tax lien or a tax deed state?

Tax deed sales. California sells tax-delinquent property itself at tax deed sales once the delinquency runs its course. An owner who stays behind can lose the property outright, which is why tax delinquent lists here are worth working early.

Can I get a free sample of California records?

Yes. Pick a record type and a county and the desk posts about 10 real California records to your private page, usually within one business day. No card and no call needed.

How fresh are the California lists?

Distress filings such as pre-foreclosure and probate refresh daily to weekly from county and court sources. Tax, ownership and equity fields refresh monthly. Every row carries the date it was last checked.

How much does a California list cost?

You pay per record, with no subscription and a 100-record minimum. The estimator prices a file in seconds, and any row that fails verification is refunded.

State process summaries are general information to help you plan outreach, not legal advice. Rules change and some counties follow their own procedure; check the statute or the county office before bidding or acting on a filing. Use contact data in line with the TCPA, Do Not Call rules and your state’s laws.
