This is to advise you that the Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector is in the process of mailing Statements of Prior Year Taxes with a Special Notice to property owners.  The statement alerts property owners that they have unpaid Annual and/or Supplemental Secured Property Taxes for prior year(s), and their property may become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell.  If residential or agricultural property remains tax defaulted for more than five years, and commercial property or unimproved vacant residential lots remain tax defaulted for more than three years, we will offer the property for sale at a public auction in accordance with State law.  The notice provides important information regarding payment options, the Department’s office location, and office hours. 

As a result of this mailing, property owners may find it difficult to reach us on the telephone.  They may obtain answers to the great majority of their questions, including how to request a copy of a property tax bill, obtain the amount due on any property, or find the tax payment history for the past three fiscal tax years on the Los Angeles County Property Tax Portal at propertytax.lacounty.gov.  Property owners may also call the toll‑free Property Tax Information Line at 1(888) 807-2111, where automated information is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We recommend property owners pay their property taxes online.  Electronic check payments are easy, available at no cost, and only require bank routing and checking account information and the Personal Identification Number (PIN) for the property.  The PIN is on the Statement of Prior Year Taxes or on any original property tax bill from a prior year.

The State of California Housing Finance Agency has launched the California Mortgage Relief Program to provide up to $20,000 in property tax relief.

The California Mortgage Relief Program covers financial assistance for property taxes!  Homeowners must have faced a COVID-19 pandemic-related financial hardship and have missed one property tax payment before June 13, 2022.  Funds received never have to be paid back, and there is no cost to apply.  Learn more today at CaMortgageRelief.org.  For assistance, contact 1(888) 840-2594 or [email protected].

Third Party Notification Program

Property owners can designate a third party (e.g., a friend, family member or agency) to receive a copy of past due notices.  While third parties are not responsible for paying the property tax bill, they can remind property owners that their property taxes may be in default, or remind them to take action to prevent them from losing their property in the event of a tax sale.  Senior citizens, those with language limitations, and others who require special assistance are among those who may benefit from this program.  To enroll in this program, please visit our website at ttc.lacounty.gov/third-party-property-tax-notification-program.  

You may contact us at [email protected] or 1(888) 807-2111, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, Monday through Friday, excluding Los Angeles County holidays.  Anyone who is hearing impaired and has TDD equipment may leave a message at 1(213) 974-2196, or use California Relay Services at 1(800) 735-2929.
