Where is the Treasurer's office located?

Tax bill are mailed annually, generally within the month of February. However, tax bills may be sent later than February if there is a delay in receiving the tax rolls from the County Assessor.
You may make your payment in person or mail your payment. An official Post Office postmark determines the payment for all mailed payments.

Why haven't I received my tax statement yet?
The Treasurer's office may have an incorrect mailing address, a mortgage company may be paying your taxes through a reserve account, or we may be holding the statement for an adjustment that needs to be made prior to mailing (i.e. senior or disability exemptions).
Contact the Treasurer's office to verify your information if you have not received your statement by mid-March.

My mortgage company no longer pays my taxes.
Contact the Treasurer's office with the correct address. If your mortgage company has not forwarded your statement to you, you will need to request a duplicate statement. It is the responsibility of the property owner to provide the change of taxpayer information to the Treasurer's office. Do no assume that your mortgage company will provide this information to the Treasurer's office on your behalf.
