Property Tax Bills Due April 10 In Riverside County

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — Riverside County homeowners were reminded Tuesday that the final installment on their property tax bills will be due no later than April 10 to avoid penalties.

The Treasurer-Tax Collector's Office last summer began sending out notices seeking payments on over 900,000 secured properties, including parcels, houses and condominiums, for the 2023-24 tax year.

The grace period to pay the second and final installment ends on April 10. Any payments received after that date will be considered delinquent and may incur a 10 percent late fee, according to county officials.

Treasurer-Tax Collector Matt Jennings encouraged property owners to make a payment anytime online via www.countytreasurer.org.

"I encourage those property owners to utilize the various options available, such as the secure online payment system," Jennings said.

Residents can also make payments in person, without an appointment, at the tax collector's main office at 4080 Lemon St. in downtown Riverside, in the Palm Desert satellite office at 38-686 El Cerrito Road, and at the Temecula branch, 40935 County Center Drive.

Credit and debit card payments are accepted via the internet, or by calling 951-955-3900. Credit card transactions include a 2% "convenience fee."

Checks are always welcome. However, county officials said that if they're mailed, the envelopes must be postmarked on or before April 10, or they'll be considered overdue.

Officials said residents who don't pay their taxes risk having a lien placed on their property.
