Tax Sale Cancellation Rights of the County of Tulare Tax Collector As a condition of participating in the Tulare County public auction, the successful bidder consents to the rescission of the sale as provided by Revenue and Taxation Code, §3731, if the County subsequently determines that a property sold by the Tax Collector should not have been sold because it was publicly owned property, not in tax-default or for any other legal reason. To rescind the sale, if a tax deed has been recorded, the registered bidder agrees to sign all required forms to cancel and rescind the erroneous sale and understands that the County will refund only the purchase amount paid and that the Tax Collector and the County of Tulare have no further liability in the matter. If the tax deed has not been recorded, the County of Tulare has the right to refund the purchase price without further action by the purchaser and without the Bidder’s prior consent or signature. Bidders will be informed of any cancelled sales.
