Don’t Forget to Pay Your California Property Taxes

Don’t Forget to Pay Your California Property Taxes

It’s property tax time! While no one enjoys paying property taxes, especially this time of year when the holidays are in full swing, it’s something you must stay on top of to avoid further complications. If you miss this deadline, you will be subject to a hefty 10% penalty.

Avoid Penalties

The first installment of your annual property taxes was due November 1st, but you have until December 10th to make your payment without penalty. California is known for its harsh tax penalties, so stay on top of your payments and instead of paying fines, put that money towards your retirement!

Keep in mind that Los Angeles County issues a surcharge for any payment made by credit card, so send a check postmarked by December 10th to save that extra bit of your hard-earned money.

Taxes are a fact of life, but don’t get behind on paying them and give even more money away unnecessarily! Make sure you mark your calendars and get your property taxes paid by December 10th to avoid the extra penalties and hassle that comes with being delinquent.
