PAY YOUR PROPERTY TAXES
PAYMENT METHODS
There is no cost to you for electronic check (eCheck) payments. Your Secured Property Tax Bill contains your Assessor’s Identification Number (AIN) and Personal Identification Number (PIN), which you will need to complete the transaction. Each eCheck transaction is limited to $999,999.99. When paying by eCheck, your bank account must be Automated Clearing House (ACH)-enabled, meaning the transaction can settle through the ACH Network. If your bank account has a debit block to prevent unauthorized organizations from debiting your account via ACH, you must notify your bank to authorize ACH debits from Los Angeles County with a debit filter with the Company Identification Number of 0 0 0 0 0 7 9 1 6 1. Los Angeles County updated its Company Identification Number in September 2018, so you must update this Company Identification Number if you previously had a debit filter on your bank account.
We accept major credit card and debit card payments. You will need your Assessor’s Identification Number (AIN), which is printed on your Secured Property Tax Bill, to complete the transaction. Please retain the confirmation number for future reference. Each credit/debit card transaction is limited to $99,999.99, including a service fee of 2.22 percent of the transaction amount (minimum $1.49 per transaction).
Before sending your payment, we recommend visiting our Avoid Penalties by Understanding Postmarks to ensure there are no problems when mailing your payment.
When preparing to send your payment, you may pay one installment or both installments together. But remember to:
- Make your check or money order payable to the Los Angeles County Tax Collector.
- Write the Assessor’s Identification Number on the lower left-hand corner of your check or money order.
