SEC. 10.4. OUTREACH FOR TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTIES.

San Francisco Administrative Code · 2025 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · San Francisco

(a) At the time that the Tax Collector files a copy of the published delinquent list with the County Recorder under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3374, the Tax Collector shall transmit that list to the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) or its successor agency for the purpose of facilitating access to any MOHCD program that could assist assessees or property owners, as applicable, to resolve tax delinquencies prior to any sale for nonpayment of taxes. For each property on the delinquent list transmitted to MOHCD, the Tax Collector shall provide the last known mailing address of the assessee as shown in the records of the Tax Collector, and any class or use code information for the property in the Tax Collector’s possession.

(b) At the time that the Tax Collector notifies the Board of Supervisors of the Tax Collector’s intent to make a sale of tax-defaulted properties under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3698, the Tax Collector shall provide the Board of Supervisors with a report summarizing the Tax Collector’s referrals of those properties to other City departments, state or federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other organizations or programs for the purpose of resolving tax delinquencies prior to sale for nonpayment of taxes. The report the Tax Collector provides under this Section 10.4(b) shall not include any information that identifies a specific property or person.

(c) Nothing in this Section 10.4 confers any rights on assessees, property owners, tenants, or any other person. The failure of the Tax Collector to transmit to MOHCD the published delinquent list or information about any property on that list as required in Section 10.4(a), MOHCD’s use of or failure to use the published delinquent list and information about any property on that list, and the failure of the Tax Collector to transmit to the Board of Supervisors the report required in Section 10.4(b), shall have no impact on the validity of any tax delinquency, the sale of any property for delinquent taxes, or any other right or obligation related to property taxes or otherwise.
