Redemption and Installment Plans

Conditions for an Installment Plan:

Between June 1 and October 31, no current year taxes are due. Between November 1 and January 31, the first half of the current year taxes must be paid. Between February 1 and June 30, the full year current taxes must be paid.

Pay a non-refundable $40.00 processing fee.

With the processing fee, pay 20% or more of the amount due.

Pay current taxes due each year on or before April 10. The second installment of any supplemental bill must not be delinquent at the end of the fiscal year (June 30).

On or before April 10 of each succeeding fiscal year, you must pay an installment payment of 20% or more of the original redemption amount, plus interest accruing on the unpaid balance at the rate of 1-1/2% per month. For due dates on weekends or holidays, payments will be due on the following business day.

Failure to meet the above conditions will result in default of your plan.

If you default your installment plan and are unable to initiate a new plan, your property will become subject to sale five or more years after your property initially became tax-defaulted. Authority for the installment plan is prescribed by Revenue and Taxation Code sections 4216-4337 and Placer County Ordinance No. 4759-B, September 17, 1996.

The unpaid balance of your installment plan, plus accrued interest, may be paid in full at any time before the fifth and final payment due date.
