Yolo County property owners are reminded that the first installment of the 2023-24 Secured Property Tax, due Nov. 1, 2023, would become delinquent if not paid by December 11, 2023.
Property Taxes Will Become Delinquent if Not Paid on or Before December 11
Property taxes must be paid by 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 11, to avoid penalties. A Yolo County press statement states a 10% penalty after the deadline. Payment envelopes must be postmarked by Dec. 11, 2023. To secure the correct postmark, mail money a few days before the deadline. Postmarks from the USPS are the only authorized ones for deadline payments. Owners can pay property taxes by credit or debit card (2.34% convenience fee) or electronic check (free). Pay online at www.YoloCounty.org/PayTax or by phone at (877) 590-0714. Avoid fines by paying through either system by 5:00 p.m. on Dec. 11, 2023.
Currently, property owners are responsible for paying their tax bills or facing penalties for not receiving them.
