San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister is reminding property owners that there is only a week left to pay the second installment of their property taxes. The total amount owed is $8.63 billion dollars, $566 million more than last year’s total of $8.1 billion.
“The deadline to pay is a week away,” McAllister said. “A 10% penalty fee is incurred for late payments, and that adds up, so we’re encouraging people to go online and pay today.”
1,013,632 secured tax bills were sent in early October and are online to view and pay at sdttc.com. Taxpayers can pay online free using an e-Check (electronic check), and will get an immediate, emailed confirmation. “More than 73% of taxpayers now pay electronically because it is secure, fast, and easy,” McAllister said.
The first property tax installment was due on Nov. 1, 2023. The second installment was due Feb. 1 and becomes delinquent after April 10, 2024.
“Property taxes fund essential county and city services,” McAllister said. “Public health, public schools, and many more critical services are funded by these tax dollars.” Click here to see how property taxes are allocated.
