2026 Early Access Edition · $27

In 2026, 8 of the top 10 California counties changed something that breaks every 2024 guide.

New auction platforms. New deposit rules. New schedules. If you're using last year's guide, you'll register on the wrong site, miss the deposit cutoff, or assume liens get wiped that don't. We rebuilt the directory from scratch — verified, sourced, and current as of April 29, 2026.

14-day refund · Free updates through 2026 · Instant download

The top 10 counties run on four different platforms

You can't register once and bid everywhere. Each platform has its own deposit rules, payment forms, and deadlines. Get any of them wrong and you forfeit a $5,000 deposit.

GovEase

Los AngelesKern

LA migrated off Bid4Assets. The old URLs no longer work.

Bid4Assets

RiversideFresnoImperialStanislaus

Same platform, four different terms PDFs and deposit deadlines.

Grant Street MyTaxSale

San BernardinoSacramentoSan Diego

San Bernardino migrated in 2024. Sacramento followed.

Unannounced

Tulare

Tulare flipped GovEase 2024 → Bid4Assets 2025 → ??? for 2026.

What's inside

10-county directory

One verified page per county: TTC contact, auction platform, 2026 schedule, deposit, payment terms, surviving liens, rookie mistakes — every fact sourced.

"What changed for 2026" callouts

Platform migrations, deposit rule changes, calendar shifts. The exact details outdated 2024 guides get wrong.

Parcel verification links

Recorder, GIS, assessor URLs for every county — the tools you need to vet a parcel before you bid.

Pre-bid due diligence checklist

Title research, lien check, zoning, easements, occupancy. Step-by-step, county-agnostic.

ROI / max-bid spreadsheet

Google Sheets + Excel. Plug in your target IRR, get your maximum allowable bid including transfer tax, recording, quiet title, and holding costs.

Free updates through 2026

When counties post their 2026 dates, terms PDFs, or platforms, you get the updated PDF emailed automatically.

Sample: Los Angeles County

Every county page is laid out the same way. Here's a small slice of LA — or read the full Los Angeles guide free.

All 10 counties have free preview pages: browse them here.

Auction platform

Online only via GovEase. LA County moved off Bid4Assets — many investor blogs are still wrong about this. LA storefront: govease.com/los-angeles


2026 sale schedule

· 2026A main sale: April 18 → April 21, 2026

· 2026B fall sale: not yet announced (October pattern)


What changed for 2026

· Deposit floor raised to $5,000 or 10% of spend limit (whichever greater) — older guides citing pure 10% are now wrong

· Platform stays GovEase; LA migrated off Bid4Assets in 2025

Questions

When do I get the PDF?

Immediately after purchase. You get a download link by email. The 2026 Early Access Edition is current as of April 29, 2026, with free updates through the end of 2026 as counties finalize schedules.

Why is this $27 and not free?

Because pulling 10 counties of verified, sourced data takes serious time, and we keep it current. Free guides are usually 2+ years stale — and in 2026, 8 of the top 10 California counties have changed something material since 2024.

Is this legal/tax/investment advice?

No. This is a research and operations guide. It tells you how the auctions work, where to find data, and what to verify. You still need your own counsel for legal questions, your own CPA for tax questions, and your own due diligence on every parcel.

What if I find an error?

Email us. We'll fix it, push an update to every buyer, and credit you. Accuracy is the product.

Refunds?

14-day no-questions-asked refund. If the guide isn't worth $27 to you, ask and we'll refund.

Not legal, tax, or investment advice. Tax-defaulted property auctions carry real risk including surviving liens, defective title, and total loss of deposit.
