Reminder, Davis: Property Taxes Due In Yolo County

YOLO COUNTY, CA – Yolo County Tax Collector Howard Newens reminds taxpayers who own property in Yolo County that the first installment of 2016-17 Secured Property Tax, due November 1, 2016, will be delinquent if not paid by December 12, 2016.

To avoid a penalty, property taxes must be paid by 5 p.m. on Monday, December 12, 2016, after which a 10 percent penalty must be added. Envelopes must be postmarked no later than December 12, 2016 if taxes are paid by mail.

It is suggested that payments be mailed a few days before the December 12 deadline to ensure that the envelope will have the proper postmark.

The only acceptable postmark for deadline payments is a U.S. Postal Service postmark. Current law does not relieve property owners of payment responsibility or the imposition of penalties because of failure to receive a tax bill. Taxpayers now have the option of paying property taxes by credit card (plus a 2.25 percent convenience fee) or electronic check (no charge).

These payments can be made via www.yolocounty.org (select Property Tax button) or by phone at (866) 895-5027.

Payments made using either of these two systems must be completed by 11:59 p.m. on December 12, 2016 to avoid penalties.
