I sold or disposed of my vessel after January 1st. Why do I have a tax bill?

Please complete and return a Vessel Affidavit (PDF) to the Placer County Assessor’s Office. Under California Law, the owner of a vessel at 12:01 a.m, January 1 (lien date), is responsible for taxes and must be assessed at full value. Sale or disposal of property after the lien date does not relieve the Assessee of the obligation to pay taxes.
