Tax Collector Moves to Seize Pulido Family Business

“The Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector last month issued a notice to Miguel Armando Pulido – the mayor’s father — saying it has assumed the power to auction off the Ace Auto Care building because the Pulidos are five years behind on their property taxes.

To keep the property, the Pulidos will have to pay $17,390.12, according to an official at the tax collector’s office. That amount will increase by $258.68 per month until the debt is paid, the official said. The building and others are tentatively scheduled for a public auction sometime in March 2015 at the county Hall of Administration.

The Pulido family has until the day before the sale to pay the debt and save the building, according to a public notice published in the Orange County Register.”
