Amador County Treasurer-Tax Collector Michael E. Ryan is reminding property owners that they have until Monday, December 13, 2010 at 5 pm, to make the first installment payment of their annual secured property taxes for the 2010-11 fiscal year. The first installment would normally be delinquent after Friday, December 10, but due to County Office closures every Friday for furloughs, the delinquent date is being extended to the next business day.

The first installment of secured property taxes was due and payable on November 1, 2010, and will become delinquent if not paid by 5 pm on December 13, 2010; thereafter a 10 percent delinquent penalty will be added.

Ryan notes that payments may be made by mail sent to the Amador County Tax Collector, 810 Court Street, Jackson, CA 95642, and must be postmarked by December 13, 2010 in order to avoid late penalties. Payments may also be made in person at the Amador County Tax Collector's Office, which is located on the second floor of the County Administration Center, 810 Court Street in Jackson, between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm, Monday through Thursday, holidays excepted.

For the convenience of taxpayers, a payment drop box is located on the outside wall of the alcove to the immediate left of the main entrance to the Administration Center. Additionally, payments may be made with a credit card in our office, or over the telephone by calling 1-800-609-4599. Credit card and e-check payments may also be made over the Internet by visiting the web-sites shown on your tax bill.
