STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE
SECTION 9300-9308




9300.  Upon default in payment of any installment of a reassessment,
or interest or penalties thereon, the lands securing the
reassessments shall be sold in the same manner in which real property
in the city is sold for the nonpayment of general taxes, and shall
be subject to redemption within one year from date of sale in the
same manner as such real property is redeemed from such delinquent
sale, and upon failure of such redemption shall in like manner pass
to the purchaser.



9301.  In the event of default in the payment of any installment of
any reassessment upon tax-deeded land or default in the payment of
interest thereon, the land may be sold under this division as in the
case of other lands.


9302.  The city shall be the purchaser at any delinquent sale in
like manner in which it becomes or may become the purchaser of
property sold for nonpayment of the general property tax, and shall
pay and transfer into the redemption fund the amount of the
delinquent reassessment and of the delinquent interest thereon.




9303.  If the municipal property tax is collected by county
officials and sales for nonpayment of such taxes are made to the
State, the State shall be the purchaser at any delinquency sale held
pursuant to this division. However, the State shall hold the title
acquired at such sale upon behalf of the city and shall account to
the city for any money received upon redemption or from the sale of
such property. The city, for the purposes of this division, shall be
deemed the real purchaser.



9304.  As to all lands of which any city is deemed the real
purchaser under the provisions of this article, such city and all of
the officials thereof shall have all of the rights, powers, duties,
and obligations granted, authorized, or imposed by this division.




9305.  If any succeeding installment of the reassessment on property
purchased by a city at a delinquency sale or interest thereon is not
paid in any future year, the property shall not be sold unless there
has previously been a redemption from such sale or unless under the
law it is then being sold for delinquent taxes.




9306.  The city shall, unless a resale has been made by it, from
time to time, when due pay and transfer into the redemption fund the
amount of any future delinquent reassessment and interest pending
redemption. No redemption shall be made until any such subsequent
payments, with interest and penalties, shall also be paid.




9307.  In the event of sale by the tax collector of any lot or
parcel of land for nonpayment of taxes and of any installment of the
reassessment thereon, or of the penalties, interest, or costs
thereon, or for nonpayment of any installment, penalties, interest,
or costs, then any certificate of sale or any deed issued is primary
evidence of the regularity of all proceedings theretofore had, and
shall be conclusive evidence of all things of which bonds issued upon
the security thereof are conclusive evidence, and prima facie
evidence of the regularity of all proceedings subsequent to the
issuance of the bonds.


9308.  A deed issued under this chapter conveys to the grantee the
absolute title to the lands described therein, free of all
encumbrances, except unpaid installments, interest, and penalties
under the same proceeding and except taxes and public improvement
assessments which by law are equal or prior to the reassessment on
which sale is made.
