San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister Monday reminded property owners they have three weeks left to pay their 2024-25 property taxes to avoid additional penalties.
The deadline to pay is June 30, 2025.
“On July 1, unpaid bills will go into default and receive an additional $33 redemption fee plus penalties of 1.5% each month,” McAllister said. “That penalty adds up to a hefty 18% per year but is avoidable if payments are received by the June 30th deadline. Taxpayers can quickly and easily pay their bills online at sdttc.com at no additional cost if payment is made using the free e-Check option.”
Last month, McAllister sent 41,032 notices to property owners who have not paid all their taxes. Property taxes are due in two installments. The first date is in December and the second is in April. Each late installment has already incurred a 10% penalty, plus a $10 fee if the second installment is late.
The total remaining taxes due is $138,465,186.89, with 98.48% of property taxes already collected.
“For that small percentage of bills that are not yet paid, we want to remind homeowners that there is still time to avoid additional penalties,” McAllister said.
Under California State law, properties that have been in default for five years may be sold at a tax sale. McAllister encouraged taxpayers to make future payments via the free e-check payment system at sdttc.com.
