 Santa Clara County Homeowners Property Taxes due by 5pm April 10

·         If the 10th falls on a weekend or county holiday, the delinquency date is extended to the next business day.

 Exactly When Are Santa Clara County, Calif. Property Taxes Due?

You have until 5 p.m. on Monday April 11 to make your payment before a 10% penalty and $20.00 cost is added to your bill

In California, property taxes are paid in two installments each year. In many people’s opinion, the drop-dead due date fall during the two worst times of the year-right before the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays, and just prior to the income tax payment deadline.

Whether you live in San Jose, Cupertino, Saratoga or any of the other cities, towns or unincorporated sections of Santa Clara County, the property tax due dates are all the same.

The first installment is due on November 1, and is considered late if not received in the office of the tax collector by 5:00 pm on December 10

The second installment is due on February 1 and is considered late if not received in the tax collector’s office by 5:00 on April 10.

Penalties are assessed immediately when installments are not in to the office by 5:00 p.m. on December 10 and April 10.
