Property Taxes: Getting Close To Due Day

Amador County Treasurer-Tax Collector Michael E. Ryan is reminding all property owners that they have until Monday, December 11, 2006 at 5 p.m., to make the first installment payment of their annual secured property taxes for the 2006-07 fiscal year.

This is due to the fact that December 10 falls on a Sunday this year. The first installment of secured property taxes was due and payable on November 1, 2006, and will become delinquent if not paid by 5 p.m. on Monday, December 11, 2006; thereafter a 10% delinquent penalty will be added.Ryan notes that payments may be made by mail and sent to the Amador County Tax Collector, 810 Court Street, Jackson, CA 95642, and must be postmarked by December 11, 2006 in order to avoid late penalties.

Payments may also be made in person at the Amador County Tax Collector's Office, which is now located on the second floor of the new County Administration Center, 810 Court Street in Jackson, between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday, holidays excepted. For the convenience of taxpayers, a payment drop box is located in the alcove to the immediate left of the main entrance to the Administration Center.  Additionally, payments may be made with a credit card 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.Amador County property tax information is now available on-line.
