(3) Property upon which the company has prior thereto commenced an action to foreclose any deed of trust or mortgage or has exercised the power of sale under any trust deed or mortgage which sale or foreclosure proceedings have not yet been completed or upon which no trustee’s deed or judgment of court or sheriff’s certificate of sale has been issued.
“Taxing agency,” as used in this section, has the same meaning as defined in Section 121 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. The injunctions or orders authorized by this subdivision may be modified, dissolved, or rescinded by the court on motion of the commissioner, the Controller, or the person charged with the collection of taxes or assessments on such property. The recording in the office of the county recorder of any county in the state of an order or injunction issued pursuant to this section, shall constitute service of the order or injunction upon any taxing agency with respect to property or interest therein located in such county.
