Nominal assessment The county's total assessed value here is under $1,000, which is not what the parcel is worth — it is a leftover from an old nominal-value transfer that Proposition 13 never re-based. Dividing a real opening bid by it produces a large number that means the assessment is tiny, not that the price is outrageous. There is no usable ratio here, so this parcel is not ranked against the others.

Flags

  • Paper lot

    Under a tenth of an acre with nothing built on it. Too small to build on under most zoning — the classic legacy-subdivision lot that costs money to own and cannot be developed or easily resold.

  • No mapped road frontage

    No road on OpenStreetMap comes within 30 m of this parcel's boundary. Land with no road to it needs a recorded easement across a neighbour's land, and without legal access a county can refuse a building permit. An easement does not show on any map, so search the Recorder's index or order a title report before you bid. The parcel page gives the nearest mapped road and its distance.

  • Very high fire hazard zone

    CAL FIRE's Fire Hazard Severity Zone map puts at least part of this parcel in its highest class. A new building here has to meet the state's wildfire construction standards (Chapter 7A of the Building Code), buildings need defensible space cleared up to 100 feet around them, and a seller has to disclose the zone. Get a fire insurance quote before you bid on land you plan to build on.

  • Offered before, didn't sell

    This parcel was in the county's previous sale and did not sell, so the market has already seen it once and passed. A lower opening bid this time means the county is trying again.
