of business in this state. The notice shall be published pursuant to
Section 6063 of the Government Code in a newspaper of general
circulation published in the city in which the property or a part
thereof is situated if any part thereof is situated in a city or, if
not, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county in
which the property or a part thereof is located. Notice shall also
be posted in both of the following manners:
   (a) One public place in the city in which the interest in property
is to be sold if it is to be sold in a city or, if not to be sold in
a city, one public place in the county in which the interest in the
property is to be sold.
   (b) One conspicuous place on the property.
   The notice shall contain a description of the property to be sold,
a statement of the amount due, including taxes, interest, penalties,
and costs, the name of the taxpayer, and the further statement that
unless the amount due is paid on or before the time fixed in the
notice for the sale, the property, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, will be sold in accordance with law and the notice.



32373.  At the sale the property shall be sold by the board or by
its authorized agent in accordance with law and the notice, and the
board shall deliver to the purchaser a bill of sale for the personal

seized may be left at the place of sale at the risk of the taxpayer.




32374.  If upon the sale the moneys received exceed the amount of
all license taxes, penalties, and costs due the state from the

the property files with the board prior to the sale notice of his or
her interest, the board shall withhold any excess pending a
determination of the rights of the respective parties to the property
by a court of competent jurisdiction. If for any reason the receipt
of the taxpayer is not available, the board shall deposit the excess
moneys with the Controller, as trustee for the owner, subject to the
order of the taxpayer, his or her heirs, successors, or assigns.
