Congratulations on purchasing a home in San Benito County!

Your annual property tax bill will be mailed in October of each year. The County only sends one annual tax bill per year. You may pay the full amount due prior to December 10 or you may pay in two installments. The due dates of the installments are November 1 and February 1 with the delinquent dates of December 10 and April 10 each year. You may pay online.

Often, the next property tax installment due on your new purchase, is collected and remitted to our office as part of escrow. If you are unsure if this occurred, please contact our office as you are responsible regardless.

In addition to the annual bill you will also receive one or more supplemental bills usually within 6-12 months after your purchase. You can find detailed information about property taxes in the topics listed here, or call the tax office at (831) 636-4034 to learn more about supplemental bills.

Again, congratulations on your new purchase,
