City of San Diego Trash Fee: Corrected Property Tax Bills and Refund Information
If you have any other questions regarding your property tax bill, please contact the San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector at (877) 829-4732 or email taxman.fgg@sdcounty.ca.gov .
Some 2026–2027 property tax bills mailed in October 2026 included an incorrect Solid Waste Management Fee (commonly known as the "Trash Fee") due to a billing error originating with the City of San Diego.
The affected bills have been corrected, and replacement bills were mailed in late October. These bills are identified with a "Corrected Bill" notation below the mailing address.
What taxpayers need to know:
· If you received a corrected bill: The amount shown on your corrected bill is the amount you owe. If you paid that amount, no further action is necessary.
· If you did not receive a corrected bill: Your property may not have been affected. You can review your property tax bill online to confirm the amount due.
· If you paid your original bill before receiving a corrected bill: You may have overpaid. If so, the Treasurer-Tax Collector will automatically process a refund for the overpayment.
