The first installment of Tehama property taxes is due November 1st and is delinquent after December 10th. A 10% penalty is added after that date.
The second installment is due February 1st and is delinquent after April 10th. After April 10th an additional 10% plus $20.00 is added to your second installment. After June 30th unpaid property taxes will incur additional penalties.
When the delinquent date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the time of delinquency is 5:00 pm the next business day.
Tax Defaulted means there is a delinquent tax against the property. Tehama County Tax collector's office prepares an annual list of property which is "tax defaulted" at the end of the fiscal year (June 30th). This list is published in the Red Bluff Daily News on or about the first week in September of the following year.
If the "Tax Defaulted" notation is printed on your bill, it is an indication that the Tax Collector shows delinquent taxes for a prior year. Five years after the first year of delinquency, the property will be eligible for sale at public auction, and will be subsequently sold if the taxes are not paid.
