O.C. Wants Your Property Tax in Its Stocking

Share via

Just as the holiday season shifts into high gear and the bills start piling up, homeowners have one more expense to deal with: annual property tax payments.

Because the Dec. 10 deadline falls this year on a Sunday, though, taxpayers are getting a bit of a break, said John M.W. Moorlach, Orange County’s treasurer-tax collector. They can line up Monday to make last-minute payments in person in Santa Ana or mail in the check, just so the envelope is postmarked by Dec. 11.

Missing the deadline is costly: a 10% penalty.

Moorlach’s office said the Postal Service is giving folks a break, agreeing to postmark mailed payments up to 11 p.m. Monday at the post office at 3101 Sunflower Ave. in Santa Ana.

Property owners who prefer to pay in person can do so from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Hall of Finance and Records, 12 Civic Center Plaza, Room G-58, Santa Ana.

Credit card payments may be made by calling (714) 834-3411.

Information is available online by e-mailing Moorlach’s office at ttcinfo@treastax.co.orange.ca.us.
