Secured Payment by Online Payment - Current and Defaulted Taxes

Pay your taxes online using your checking account or credit/debit card. You will need your Assessor’s Identification Number to search and retrieve payment information.

To make a payment, you will also need the Personal Identification Number (PIN) located on your bill to complete and authorize the transaction. The PIN cannot be provided by telephone, e-mail or fax. We can only mail a copy of the bill to the property address or the mailing address we currently have on record. For a duplicate bill contact us at info@ttc.lacounty.gov or call us at 888-807-2111.

You cannot exceed the maximum of 10 shopping cart items at one time. If you have more items to pay than the allowable maximum, you must complete the current transaction first, then you will be able to select another bill to pay.

Have your checking account information available or your credit/debit card information when you begin the online payment process. To make a payment now, go to Online Payments.
