REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE
SECTION 3381-3385




3381.  In each county where the tax collector or, if the county is a
chartered county, the board of supervisors determines that the
public interest, convenience and necessity require the local
publication of the delinquent list required by Section 3371, or the
published notice of power and intent to sell required by Section
3361, in order to afford adequate notice, all items required to be
published shall be published as provided in this article.
   After the determination, the tax collector or, if the county is a
chartered county, the board of supervisors shall divide and
distribute the items to be published and cause the same to be
published either within (a) the municipal corporations, (b) the
elementary, high school, or junior college districts, (c) the
supervisorial districts, (d) judicial districts, (e) tax districts,
areas included in map books, or tax code areas, or (f) by any
annexation or annexations of same, or any combination of same, or any
combination of those districts, annexations, areas included in map
books, and code areas, within the county as they shall determine most
likely to afford adequate notice to owners of the property.
   Except as provided in this article, the publication shall be in
the same manner as provided in Article 1.7 (commencing with Section
3371).
   The publication provided for in this article shall be made once a
week for two successive weeks in a newspaper or newspapers of general
circulation. The publication shall be made in a newspaper published
not less frequently than once a week.



3382.  Annually, the board of supervisors shall let the contracts
for publication of the published delinquent list, or the published
notice of power and intent to sell, and shall determine the rate to
be paid for those publications or any portions thereof.
   The publication rate shall be based on a common denominator of
measurement for all newspapers and may be graduated according to
circulation.



3383.  The contracts for the publications shall include the
publication of the proper portion of the published list and all other
items relating to that portion of the published list required by law
to be published.


3384.  The board of supervisors may provide by order for mailing to
each assessee on the published delinquent list a copy of the items
delinquent assessed to him and, if so ordered, the copy shall be
mailed to the assessee at his address as shown on the roll. This
section gives no one any right to receive the copy of items
delinquent, and neither the county nor any office or employee is
liable for failure of the assessee to receive the copy or for any
mistake in connection with the mailing.



3385.  In ordering mailing of a copy of items delinquent, the board
of supervisors may do either of the following:
   (a) Authorize the tax collector to perform the mailing.
   (b) Include, or authorize the inclusion of the mailing as an item
in the contracts for publication of the published delinquent list.
