Property taxes are due and payable in two installments, although the property owner may pay both installments prior to December 10 without penalty.

  • The first installment is due November 1 and delinquent at 5:00 P.M. on December 10
  • The second installment is due February 1 and delinquent at 5:PM on April 10

(If the 10th day of December or April falls on Saturday, Sunday or a holiday, the time of delinquency is 5:00 PM on the next regular business day.)

  • Penalties of 10% immediately begin accruing if payment is not made when due.

If your deed records after January 1st, the tax bill may be mailed to the prior owner. It is your responsibility to contact the Tax Collector's office if you fail to receive the tax bill in November of each year. If you have made alternate arrangements for the taxes to be paid on your behalf by a lender or agent, you may want to confirm that they are in receipt of the current tax bill to avoid penalties.

In addition, the property may be subject to supplemental real property taxes due to the change of ownership taking place through escrow. Any supplemental real property taxes arising as a result of the transfer of the property to you sshall be your sole responsibility. The due dates and delinquency dates may differ.

You are encouraged to contact the Tax Collector if you have any questions or if you wish to confirm your correct address on record, to avoid penalties. Reference the subject property address and 1-digit APN# (Assessor's Parcel Number).
