2016-17 NOTICE OF DELINQUENCY

JOSEPH KELLY, Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector, is in the process of

mailing 146,726 Notices of Delinquency to Los Angeles County property owners who have not paid their property taxes in full for the 2016-17 tax year. The taxes are

delinquent and will default on Saturday, July 1, 2017. At that time, we will impose a

$15 redemption fee and additional penalties of 1.5 percent per month on the defaulted taxes. The notices include the attached insert, which provides important detailed information regarding payment options, office locations, and office hours.

We caution property owners that if residential or agricultural property remains tax

defaulted for more than five years or vacant residential lots or commercial property for more than three years, we will sell the property at a public auction in accordance with State law.

“As a result of this mailing, it may be difficult for property owners to reach us on the

telephone,” Mr. Kelly advised. “Property owners may obtain answers to the great

majority of their questions, including the amount due on any parcel, from the

Los Angeles County Property Tax Portal at lacountypropertytax.com . Taxpayers 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.”

Taxpayers can subscribe to receive property tax related emails from the

Treasurer and Tax Collector regarding special notices and upcoming events, such as

annual property tax deadline reminders, office location updates and other news. To

subscribe, taxpayers may go to Email Notification Service at ttc.lacounty.gov/eNotify.
