In California if you don't pay your property taxes for 5 years, or if you have a nuisance abatement lien then it's 3 years, and they can sell your house.Many of the properties don't have loans so there is no lender to foreclose, or if their is a lender then they don't want to foreclose or they don't want the property back for some reason.Probably once in a great while you will get some one crazy enough to pay their loan but not pay their taxes, but it would be very rare.If you purchase from a tax auction in California then you are only responsible for government liens or judgments, everything else is removed. 

This is why it is important to know the laws, procedures, and guidelines that govern the business you are in.
