SANTA ANA, Calif. – Orange County Treasurer Shari Freidenrich reminds property owners that the first installment deadline to timely pay secured property taxes for fiscal year 2024/25 without a 10% penalty is Tuesday, December 10. “I encourage property owners to use our secure online free eCheck payment option at octreasurer.gov/octaxbill” says Treasurer Shari. L. Freidenrich. “There is no cost for eCheck, you will receive same day credit, receive an emailed receipt and can view and print it for your records. In the last two days, we had almost 20,000 taxpayers pay using eCheck online. Their accounts received same-day credit. Funds will be deducted from their bank account in 2-3 days and update online as paid in two business days.
Mailed payments received after December 10 that do not have a United States Postal Service (USPS) postmark of December 10 or earlier will be charged a 10% delinquent penalty. Paying at octreasurer.gov/octaxbill is Fast, Safe and Secure. Payments processed on the secure website that has recently changed to .gov from .com prior to midnight on December 10 will be timely. While there is no charge for eCheck, taxpayers who pay with a credit or debit card will be assessed a 2.29 percent service charge.
