Do CA State Tax Liens survive a CA tax auction?

Question

Hi BP,

I am wondering if a lien filed against the owner of a property (not the property's property tax) going up for auction at a tax deed sale survives the auction? For example, there is a property I am doing title research on where the CA State Tax Board filed a lien against the property owner.

I think that it would survive, because of the following 2 examples of title encumberances that survive a CA tax sale, but I am not quite sure:a. Any lien for installments of taxes and special assessments, which installments will become payable upon the secured roll after the time of the sale.1b. The lien for taxes or assessments or other rights of any taxing agency, which does not consent, to the sale under this chapter.Can anyone with experience shed some light on this? Thank you!

what they are referring to is bonds that are paid in the ad valorum tax bill.

like school bonds improvement bonds etc.. this is not child support or income tax..

other than IRS which has to give you your money back plus interest if they want to redeem.

Do you have a source for this? This seems to be directly referring to liens placed on a home from delinquent payment of income tax (payment plan for CA income tax, for example).

"Any lien for installments of taxes..."

i need to make sure because the owners of a property have a CA income tax lien filed against them for twice the ARV of the property.
