AUBURN, CA (MPG) - The Placer County Treasurer-Tax Collector is reminding property owners to avoid property tax penalties by paying the second installment of property taxes by 5 p.m. April 10 for the 2025-26 tax year.

What is the payment deadline? The 2nd installment becomes delinquent after April 10 at which time a 10 percent penalty plus an additional $10 cost will be added. 

Taxes remaining unpaid after June 30 accrue additional penalties at 1.5 percent per month (18 percent annually), plus a $15 fee is due at time of redemption. When mailing close to a delinquent date, we encourage taxpayers to request a hand-cancelled timely postmark at a U.S. Postal Office counter.

How do I get a duplicate tax bill? You may download a copy of your property tax bill by visiting our website at www.placer.ca.gov/pay-my-taxes or by calling 530-889-4120, toll free at 888-888-5218.

How can I pay my property tax bill? We are pleased to offer several different payment options to the public: online at www.placer.ca.gov/pay-my-taxes (by 11:59 p.m. on the delinquent date, fees apply), U.S. Mail (on or before the delinquent date by USPS postmark) or at the In-Person Counter Service or drop box (by 5 p.m. on the delinquent date).
