Your property tax bill
The Placer County Treasurer-Tax Collector posts Placer County secured tax bills online: look up or pay a property tax bill. You'll usually need the parcel number (APN).
California secured property tax is billed in two installments: the first is due November 1 and late after December 10; the second is due February 1 and late after April 10. A 10% penalty applies to a late installment.
A bill adds fixed charges to the rate: parcel taxes, Mello-Roos (Community Facilities District) taxes and special assessments such as sewer, flood control or lighting. Those vary by parcel and are not in the rates above. Your true tax rate is the two together, the tax at the city rate plus fixed assessments, divided by the purchase price on a newly purchased home.
