After satisfaction of the amount specified in Sections 4672, 4672.1, and 4673, the proceeds shall be distributed as follows:

(a) An amount of the proceeds up to but no greater than the amount required, at the time of sale, to redeem the property from tax default, the outstanding balance of any property tax postponement loan, and the sale to any taxing agency entitled to share in the proceeds shall be distributed as follows:

(1) A pro rata share shall be distributed to each assessment fund in an amount bearing the same proportion as the assessment due each fund bears to the total amount of taxes and assessments necessary to redeem the property at the time of sale.

(2) After distributing the proceeds according to paragraph (1), a pro rata share shall be distributed to each tax fund in an amount bearing the same proportion to the balance remaining as the tax rate for each fund bears to the total tax rate applicable to the property for the fiscal year preceding that in which the property was sold.

(3) The remaining balance of the proceeds to be distributed under this section after distributing the proceeds according to paragraphs (1) and (2) shall be distributed to the state controller for the outstanding balance of any property tax postponement loan.

(b) After satisfaction of the amounts specified in subdivision (a), an amount of the proceeds necessary to satisfy current taxes and assessments and applicable penalties and costs thereon for the fiscal year in which the tax sale is held shall be distributed as provided in Chapter 1a (commencing with Section 4653) of this part. Current taxes and assessments referred to herein include taxes and assessments which would have been levied on the property if the property were not tax-deeded to any taxing agency and remains subject to sale by, or redemption from, the taxing agency.

(c) For purposes of this section, the “outstanding balance of any property tax postponement loan” is the sum of the following:

(1) The tax payments made by the State Controller's office on behalf of the claimant in the Property Tax Postponement Program.

(2) Accrued interest pursuant to Section 16183 of the Government Code, subject to Sections 20644 and 20644.5.
