STATEMENT FROM
KEITH KNOX, TREASURER AND TAX COLLECTOR, REGARDING COVID-19 AND THE APRIL 10
PROPERTY TAX DEADLINE
I understand that this is a very stressful time, especially for those
suffering direct effects from this public health crisis, and my office is
committed to helping in any way we can. Los Angeles County property owners
affected by the COVID-19 virus may have late penalties cancelled if they are
unable to pay their property taxes by the April 10 deadline.
We have no authority to extend the April 10 deadline, as outlined by State
Law. However, beginning on April 11, the day after property taxes are due,
people unable to pay on time for reasons related to COVID-19 may submit a
request for penalty cancellation online. The department has set up a special
team to process these requests for those who demonstrate they were affected by
the outbreak.
We encourage all property owners who can pay their taxes on time to do so.
This revenue helps keep the government running and providing vital services that
the public relies on, especially in times like these.
Since County buildings are currently closed to the public during this
emergency, there will be no in-person payments. Instead, taxpayers can pay
online, via telephone or by mail. There is no cost for e-Check payments online.
For online credit/debit card transactions, our card payment processor charges a
2.25 percent service fee.
We have developed responses to our most Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs).
