Where do your taxes go? The Treasurer-Tax Collector's Department is responsible for billing and collecting the taxes paid by Butte County property owners. However, the County only retains approximately 24% of the property tax dollars collected. The rest is distributed to schools, cities, special districts, and redevelopment agencies.

Property Tax Postponement Program Suspended The California legislature has suspended two property tax-related programs to assist low income senior citizens, blind and disabled persons – the Property Tax Assistance Program and the Property Tax Postponement Program. We encourage you to carefully read the following information and contact the appropriate agencies with any questions. Property Tax Assistance Program (from the Franchise Tax Board's website) - The state budget approved for the 2008/2009 fiscal year deleted funding for the Homeowner and Renter Assistance Program. Since there is no funding in the state budget for this program, 2008 claims cannot be paid or processed. For more information, visit the Franchise Tax Board 's website at www.ftb.ca.gov or contact the Franchise Tax Board at 800-868-4171. Property Tax Postponement Program (from the California State Controller's Office website) - On February 20, 2009, the legislature suspended the Senior Citizens' Property Tax Deferral Program. As a result of the program suspension, the Controller will no longer accept claims for property tax postponement pending modification or repeal of this new law. For the most current information on the PTP program please visit our website at www.sco.ca.gov.
