Homestead Exemption apply if owner's property sold at tax sale?

[Andy Li]

In California, do owners get their homestead exemption if their primary residence will be sold at a tax deed sale for unpaid property taxes?

Do proceeds of sale first pay off property tax liens then pay off homeowner's homestead exemption, in that order?

Do proceeds of sale solely pay off property tax liens?   Not any other govt liens?

Thanks!
