ATC Annual Report Highlight

Tax Collector The Tax Collector's office is responsible for the collection of property taxes. Property Tax Postponement The State Controller's Property Tax Postponement Program allows homeowners who are seniors, are blind, or have a disability to defer current-year property taxes on their principal residence if they meet certain criteria, including at least 40 percent equity in the home and an annual household income of $53,574 or less (among other requirements). The deferment of property taxes is secured by a lien against the property which must eventually be repaid. The State Controller's Office (SCO) accepts <mark>PTP</mark> applications from October 1 to February 10 each year. Go to the SCO website at <a href="https://sco.ca.gov">sco.ca.gov</a> for more information.

There is no charge to use an electronic check.

The convenience fee is not retained by the Tax Collector.
