Amador County – Amador County Treasurer and Tax Collector Michael E. Ryan announced that the second installment of 2011-2012 secured property taxes is due.

Ryan said he is reminding property owners that they have until 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 10 to make the second installment payment of their annual secured property taxes for the 2011-2012 fiscal year. The deadline should not be confused with the Income Tax deadline which is several days later.

The second installment of secured property taxes was due and payable on Feb. 1 and will become delinquent if not paid by 5 p.m. on April 10. Thereafter a 10 percent delinquent penalty and $20 cost charge will be added. Taxes remaining unpaid after June 30 accrue additional statutory penalties at the rate of 1-and-a-half percent per month, as well as additional fees.

Ryan notes that payments may be made by mail and must be postmarked by April 10 in order to avoid late penalties. Payments may also be made in person at the Amador County Tax Collector’s Office, on the second floor of the County Admin Center, at 810 Court Street in Jackson. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday, holidays excepted.

Amador County Offices are closed on Fridays. 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 Admin Center. Additionally, payments may be made with a credit card in the Tax Collector’s Office, or by telephone at 1-800-609-4599.

Credit card and e-check payments may also be made over the Internet by visiting websites shown on tax bills. Taxpayers should refer to the back of their tax bill for further payment and tax information.
