Univision Radio San Francisco petitions the Santa Clara Board of Supervisors to rescind the tax sale of Assessor's Parcel Number 627-23-009, which was sold in May 2025 without notice to Univision. The property, which contains a radio transmission tower, was sold despite Univision's ongoing payment of unsecured business property taxes. The company was unaware of any tax delinquency due to mail being sent to an outdated address. The petition argues that the County failed to make reasonable efforts to notify interested parties, violating due process. Univision requests the Board to restore title to the property and correct County records.

Key points

  • The property was sold at a tax auction in May 2025 without notice to Univision.
  • Univision has paid unsecured business property taxes for years but was unaware of underlying real property tax liabilities.
  • The County sent tax notices to an outdated address, resulting in returned mail.
  • The County did not make reasonable efforts to identify or notify Univision or other interested parties before the sale.
  • Univision argues that allowing the sale to stand would cause severe hardship, disrupting broadcast operations.
  • The petition cites legal precedents supporting the rescission of tax sales under similar circumstances.
Limitations
  • The document appears to be a draft as it contains placeholders and incomplete sections.
  • Specific dates and details regarding the tax sale process are not fully resolved in the text.
