Total
This is the Total amount of tax you will be paying for the fiscal year. The amount due here is equal to the total amount calculated for Proposition 13 tax, all voter approved bonds, and special assessments. You may pay the total amount due prior to the first installment delinquent date, or you may opt to pay in two installments. If you choose to pay by installments, please remit the amount shown on the payment stubs included in your bill. The Tax Collector cannot accept less than the total amount due for each installment.

1st Installment
This is the amount due for the first installment. The first installment of your tax bill is due each year, as defined by the Revenue and Taxation Code for the State of California, on November 1st and becomes delinquent if no payment is received by 5 P.M. on December 10. The Tax Collector does accept a postmark of December 10. However, we recommend that you carry your payment into the Post Office and have the stamp hand cancelled if you decide to wait until the last day. Postmarks of later than December 10, (or the first business day following if December 10 falls on a Holiday or weekend) are subject to a ten percent penalty.

2nd Installment
This is the amount due for the second instalment. The second installment of your tax bill is due each year, as defined by the Revenue and Taxation Code for the State of California, on February 1st and becomes delinquent if no payment is received by 5 P.M. on April 10. Like the first installment, a postmark is acceptable. However take proper precautions to have the stamp hand cancelled if you opt to wait until April 10 to make your payment. Delinquent second installment tax payments are subject to a ten percent penalty and a $30.00 cost fee.
