WOODLAND, CA (MPG) - The Yolo County Tax Collector’s Office reminds taxpayers who own property in Yolo County that the second installment of 2023-24 Secured Property Tax, due February 1, 2024, will be delinquent if not paid by April 10, 2024.

To avoid a penalty, property taxes must be paid by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, after which time, a 10 percent penalty will be added. Envelopes must be postmarked no later than April 10, 2024, if taxes are paid by mail. It is recommended that payments be mailed a few days before the April 10 deadline to ensure the envelope will have the proper postmark. The only acceptable postmark for deadline payments is a U.S. Postal Service postmark.

Taxpayers have the option of paying property taxes by credit card (incurring a 2.34% convenience fee) or electronic check (no fee incurred). These payments can be made online at www.YoloCounty.org by selecting the Pay Property Tax icon, or by phone at (877) 590-0714. Payments made using either of these two systems must be completed by 5 p.m. on April 10, 2024, to avoid penalties.

Current law does not relieve property owners of payment responsibility or the imposition of penalties because of failure to receive a tax bill. If you own property in Yolo County and did not receive a tax bill, please call (530) 666-8190 or email [email protected] as soon as possible.

Property taxes are a critical funding source for local governments including cities, school districts, local cemetery districts, community colleges, rural fire districts and more. For example, more than half of property taxes received go to local school districts while the property tax portion that rural fire districts receive helps to fund over 90% of their revenue each year. Yolo County receives about 9% of property taxes, which is 9 cents of every dollar.
