Are you like most of the other property owners who like to wait until the last day to pay your property tax?

The deadline for payment of the first installment of the 2010-11 county property tax bill is 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 10.

Payments must be postmarked by Friday or delivered to the tax collector's office at the Civic Center no later than 5 p.m. that day to avoid a 10-percent penalty.

Property taxes may be paid online at www.co.marin.ca.us/paytax or by phone at 800-985-7277 with either a credit card or electronic funds transfer.

The second tax payment is due April 10.

For more information, including programs helping those who cannot afford their tax bill, call the tax collector's office at 499-6133 or visit www.co.marin.ca.us/taxes.

Sylvia:

I'm very encouraged by the fact that more Realtors and others in the real estate profession are actively helping people keep informed about property taxes.  Everyone who owns property generally pays property taxes.  Local assessors send out assessment notices whenever there is a reassessment and tax collectors send out bills twice a year.  These are great opportunities for real estate bloggers to inform their readers.

Thanks, Richard.  The 1st installment deadline has come and gone and seems to me most people are able to avoid that very steep 10% penalty (sure is an incentive to pay ontime).  I think the more we can help our clients the better, win-win situation.
