Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Delinquent Property Tax

I live in Oakland in Alameda County,

CA and I was wondering, when a

property's taxes go unpaid (May 06 -

current) and become severely

delinquent, not in a postition to ever

be paid, what happens to the house,

tenants, etc? And how long does it

take for anything to happen?
