As the latest due date for San Diego property taxes has passed and the delinquency date draws nearer (with just over a month away), I figured this would be a good time to provide information about property taxes.
The fiscal tax year runs from July 1st to June 30th of the following calendar year. In late September & October, the Treasurer-Tax Collector mails out original secured property tax bills. On the secured tax roll, the first installment is due November 1 and delinquent after December 10, and the second installment is due on February 1 and delinquent after April 10. Taxpayers have the option of paying both installments when the first installment is due. Penalties will not be waived due to not receiving a bill.
Keep in mind that as a new property owner, California law requires that you
be responsible for the timely payment of taxes on your property. DO NOT WAIT TO
BE NOTIFIED or expect receipt of a tax bill. None may be forthcoming. Make it a
matter of your personal attention and responsibility to find out what taxes are
due and owing by you, as required by law.
To search the status of your tax bill and/or pay your bill online, go to the county assessor's website at http://www.sdtreastax.com/pay.html. Please note that if you would like to pay using a credit card on their site, they charge a convenience fee of 2.25% for processing.
If you have any questions or would like more assistance with your tax bill, feel free to email me at michelle.schwartz@coldwellbanker.com.
