Treasurer - Tax Collector

The Treasurer-Tax Collector's Department operates three divisions - Treasury, Property Tax, and Central Collections. While the activities of each division are unique, the primary purpose of the department as a whole is the collection and cash management of revenue owed to the County, cities, special districts, school districts, and the court system. The department is committed to providing excellent customer service and assuring effective utilization of the public's tax dollars through a program of performance measurement and management.

I am personally dedicated to excellence in the performance of all duties and am proud to say that the Treasurer-Tax Collector's Office is well known for its culture of professionalism, teamwork and superior customer service.

Recent Updates to Property Status

The Assessor's Office is continuing to update property tax records to reflect title transfers that occurred. A duplicate billing may be generated once the records are updated.

If you sold, bought, or transferred property recently, you may print a copy of the tax bill online. You may contact the Assessor's Office to validate the time it is taking to change file information. If you received the original tax bill, please forward to the new owner or reach out to the title company.
