How do I register for an LA County tax sale?

Follow the auction link on the Treasurer and Tax Collector's schedule page. For 2026 auctions, bidders register with GovEase rather than the county and pay the deposit set in that auction's terms.

Official source

What happens after I win an LA County tax sale property?

The county issues a tax deed. Los Angeles County says possession follows recording of the tax deed, and it cautions buyers about improvements on the property and potential challenges after a sale. Plan for title review rather than assuming the deed alone gives you insurable title.
