SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIF.— The County of Santa Clara Department of Tax and Collections (DTAC) has mailed out the 2021-22 property tax bills to all property owners at the addresses shown on the tax roll. Department representatives remind property owners that the first installment is due on Friday, December 10, 2021, and becomes delinquent if not paid by 5 p.m. A 10% penalty and a $20 cost will be added to unpaid balances.

Property owners may view and pay the tax bill online at taxpayment.sccdtac.org. Payments made by eCheck are free of convenience fees. Property taxes can also be paid using the SCC DTAC mobile app.

The collection of property taxes, especially during the continuing pandemic, is critical for the ongoing support of various essential services, such as public health, fire protection, education, parks, and law enforcement.
