or mailing and accepting renewal fees for any businesses located within the City

The
Los Angeles County Tax Collector reminds taxpayers that property tax payments must
be received or postmarked by the delinquency date to avoid penalties. If a payment
is received after the delinquency date, with no postmark, the payment is considered
late and penalties will be imposed, in accordance with State law. Taxpayers who
send a payment by mail are cautioned that the United States Postal Service only
postmarks certain mail depending on the type of postage used, and may not postmark
mail on the same day deposited by a taxpayer. To assist taxpayers in understanding
how to avoid penalties that could result from postmark issues, the Tax Collector
has compiled important related information on how to Avoid Penalties by Understanding
Postmarks.
