Pursuant to Section 3712 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, the tax deed conveys title to the purchaser free of all encumbrances of any kind existing before the sale, except:• Any lien for installments of taxes and special assessments, which installments will become payable upon the secured roll after the time of the sale.• The lien for taxes or assessments or other rights of any taxing agency that does not consent to the sale under this chapter.• Liens for special assessments levied upon the property conveyed which were, at the time of the sale, not included in the amount necessary to redeem the tax-defaulted property.• Unaccepted, recorded, irrevocable offers of dedication of the property to the public or a public entity for a public purpose, and recorded options of any taxing agency to purchase the property or any interest therein for a public purpose.Any federal Internal Revenue Service liens that, pursuant to provisions of federal law, are not discharged by the sale, even though the tax collector has provided proper notice to the Internal Revenue Service before that date....according to that, California tax sales doesn't seem pretty free and clear to me.

The process also involves having to pay the taxes at the local courthouse and visit the tag agency to get the required updated plate sticker and 936 form before the home can be moved.
