(AGENPARL) – mer 28 settembre 2022 SECURED PROPERTY TAX BILLS MAILED THIS MONTH
Sacramento County will mail about 475,598 secured property tax bills which are payable beginning November 1, 2022. These tax bills are mailed only once a year, however, property owners may pay their bills in two installment payments:
– The first installment payment is due on November 1, 2022. Payments will be accepted without penalty until 5 p.m. on December 12, 2022.
– The second installment payment is due on February 1, 2023. Payments will be accepted without penalty until 5 p.m. on April 10, 2023.
– Both installments may be paid when the first installment is due. A reminder notice will not be mailed for the second installment.
Payment can be made in person at the Sacramento County Tax Collector’s Office at 700 H Street, Room 1710, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. In person payments can be paid via cash, check, credit card, debit card or money order. A convenience fee will apply for credit card and debit card transactions.
Payments can be sent via mail to P.O. Box 508, Sacramento, CA 95812-0508. The Tax Collector accepts and processes payments based on the postmark date. Payments may not be credited to the tax bill for several business days dependent upon the volume of payments received, whether payments were submitted with the correct payment stubs, and/or whether envelopes were postmarked by the delinquent date.
Property tax law (Prop 8) requires that parcels be assessed at their factored Prop 13 value, or their fair market value (as of the January 1, 2022 property tax lien date), whichever is less.
A rising real estate market can cause higher than expected increases in a parcel’s annual tax bill if that parcel was in Prop 8 status last year. However, the assessed value of any parcel cannot increase beyond that parcel’s factored Prop 13 level. The 2% inflation cap applies only to Prop 13 assessments. It does not apply to Prop 8 assessments, which by law must track the property’s market value until it reaches the Prop 13 factored value.
