(b) If the tax collector sends reminder notices prior to the close of the fiscal year and annually sends a redemption notice of prior year due taxes, the notice required by subdivision (a) shall only include properties that have been tax-delinquent for three or more years and for which the latest reminder notice or redemption notice was returned to the tax collector as undeliverable. 3352. The notice shall be in the form of an affidavit and shall show: (a) That unless paid, the amount due shall be in default. (b) The time at which the default will occur by operation of law. (c) The fact that if tax defaulted, the real property may be redeemed by the payment of the amount of defaulted taxes together with such additional penalties and fees as prescribed by law, or that the real property may be redeemed under an installment plan of redemption. (d) The fact that tax-defaulted real property will be subsequently sold in satisfaction of the tax lien unless that property is redeemed or an installment plan of redemption is initiated and maintained. (e) The fact that a publication of a detailed listing of all real property which is tax defaulted will be initiated on or before September 8th, unless that property is sooner redeemed. 3353.
