About this sale
Placer County’s tax collector is offering 36 tax-defaulted parcels on October 21, 2026, spread across 11 cities and communities. Opening bids run from $100 to $1,803,100, and 17 of 36 open under $25,000. A California minimum bid is set from the defaulted taxes, penalties and costs owed on the parcel — not from market value — which is why opening bids and assessor roll values can diverge so sharply.
13 of these parcels were offered at an earlier Placer County sale and drew no bid. A parcel back for a second try is not necessarily a bad one, but it is a reason to look harder at access, slope and zoning before bidding.
The prior owner’s right of redemption runs until the close of business on the last business day before the sale, so parcels can be pulled from the list at the last minute. Confirm parcel status and the county’s bidding requirements on the official sale page before the day.
