Property Tax Reminder Notices in the Mail

More than 97% of San Diego property owners have already paid their 2025-2026 property taxes. However, if you have not paid yet, you will soon be getting a reminder notice in the mail.

Property taxes are due in two installments. The first is due on November 1 and becomes delinquent after December 10. The second installment is due February 1 and becomes delinquent if paid after April 10. Each late installment has already incurred a 10% penalty, plus a $10 fee for late second installments.  Click here to check the status of your property taxes.

There is still time to avoid additional penalties if the bills are paid by June 30th. Taxes left unpaid after that date will become defaulted and will accrue additional penalties at a rate of 1.5% per month (18% per year). A $33 redemption fee will also apply.
