New Online Payment Services and Rates in 2010
In February 2010 a "shopping cart" feature will be added to our website allowing you to pay multiple bills in a single transaction (maximum 10 installments).

You will be able to pay your taxes with any major credit card, including Discover, for a lower rate of 2.30%.

You may also use your debit card for a flat fee of $3.95.

And for NO CHARGE, you may pay taxes directly from your checking or savings account! That’s right, there is no fee for e-checks!

Keep watching our website for these changes. We hope to make them available to you sooner once we have successfully completed all testing.

You can apply for reassessment free of charge by contacting the Assessor's office directly at (925) 313-7400. Simply request an Assessment Review.
