She may be able to get some help in learning a better way to budget. If she is still making mortgage payments she may be able to arrange to have this year's and future year's taxes added to her monthly payment. While this will increase her monthly payment it is a better situation than to be hit all at once with a lump sum.
She should check with the collector's office, I do not believe that her property can be (I can't think of the word I want to use) but essentially I don't believe they can take the property from her for being one year behind in paying her taxes; although, there may be penalties and interest.
Good luck.

Unfortunately, if you get too delinquent with your property taxes, the taxing authority can sell your property at sheriff's sale.
I'd give paying the property taxes the very highest priority.Also, call them and see if you can work out a plan, but they absolutely must be paid.There's no way around it.

Some counties, like San Diego, offer property tax relief to seniors on a limited income.

In California, you have 5 years until the county will sell your property for the non payment of property taxes. HOWEVER, each month the county adds interest to the amount owed.

Does she have a good credit card? The kind you don't have to pay any interest on if you pay the whole amount off every month. If so she can pay it with that, maybe, and then get a job. One that will pay enough in one month to pay off the amount charged on the card next month.

Not much she can do. Of course, she can contact the tax collectors office and ask if they can give her a postponement, but do not hold your breath.
Unfortunately many people have to sell their homes fast, not to loose them, when they are in such a situation. Sorry.
Where in CA are you?

Ive actually heard about investors can go in and start paying your deliquent property taxes, charge YOU 18% interest on it and if you dont pay in 2 years, they can get your house free and clear.
