Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector Keith Knox has posted a message to property taxpayers who may miss the April 10 deadline due to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, with details on how to avoid a late fee.

Knox’s note follows:

“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 canceled 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.

“Taxpayers can also visit https://ttc.lacounty.gov/ to review payment methods and several other online self-service options.

“Taxpayers may also call 213-974-2111 for additional information.”

    I am a few days late, due to delay in receiving my income.

  4. Maria Maldonado says:

    I have not been able to return to work because of all the restrictions due to COVID 19. I barely had enough money to pay the second installment. Having a trouble catching up financially. It would be a great help if penalties for late payment would be waived. Thank you so much for considering.?

  5. Theresa deguzman (for Joan huntsman) says:

    Due to Covid we were trying to sell our house and at that time the pandemic we could not sell the house so my sister had her hours cut at work so I have $926.50 out of 1,170.13 so yes I’m asking for the penalty to be dropped $127.01 I will get you the 926.50 at the end of this month September 2020

  6. Maria Elena Lauro says:

    I’m trying very hard to pay back taxes but with the penalty my bill will never get done. Presently I’m dealing with breast cancer and starting radiation next week. I would deeply appreciate the waiver. I went to the assessor’s office in long beach was given a form to fill out but I need to talk to someone. For some reason there is a problem of who’s on the deed.
