Keith Knox, Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector, reminds property owners that the second installment of the 2023-24 Annual Secured Property Taxes becomes delinquent if not received by 5pm Pacific Time or United States Postal Service (USPS) postmarked on or before Wednesday, April 10, 2024. “To avoid late penalties, property owners should not wait until the last day to make payment, please pay early” says Knox.
He advised, “Property owners may find it difficult to reach us on the telephone. They may obtain answers to the great majority of their questions in addition to viewing their 2023-24 Annual Secured Property Tax Bill, making online electronic check (eCheck) payments, or obtaining tax payment history for the past three fiscal tax years on the Los Angeles County Property Tax Portal at propertytax.lacounty.gov. Property owners may also submit their inquiries at ttc.lacounty.gov/public-inquiries or call the toll-free Property Tax Information Line at 1(888) 807-2111, where automated information is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A new eCheck video, with closed captions in English, Armenian, Chinese, Korean, or Spanish, is available at ttc.lacounty.gov/pay-your property-taxes.”
