- Availability · Unsecured: bank bill-pay warning
- The county discourages bank bill-pay for unsecured tax because these envelopes generally lack a USPS postmark; receipt date can determine penalties.
Source & saved evidence
Property-tax local instructions: Unsecured: bank bill-pay warning; saved text paragraph 142
We recommend that you DO NOT use these services to pay Unsecured (Personal) Property Taxes. The reason is that California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2512 requires that the Treasurer and Tax Collector process property tax payments, received after the delinquency date, as of the date of the United States Postal Service (USPS) postmark. Banking institutions use permit imprint presorted envelopes, which the USPS does not postmark, i.e., bank envelopes do not have a USPS postmark on them. In the absence of a USPS postmark, we apply penalties based on the date that we receive your payment. To avoid paying penalties and costs or to learn more, please read Avoid Penalties by Understanding Postmarks section.
