Property Tax Assistance

COUNTY OF INYO | TREASURER-TAX COLLECTOR

The Treasurer-Tax Collector would like to inform and remind Inyo County’s Taxpayers of their options for assistance and deferment of their Secured Annual Property Taxes. The California State Controller has a Property Tax Postponement Program, which allows homeowners who are seniors, blind, or disabled to defer current year property taxes on their principal residence. While there are additional criteria which must be met, if you think you may qualify you can find the application(s) at www.sco.ca.gov, or via the link on our webpage, ttc.inyo.gov.

Our office is also excited to introduce an additional payment option this year called Easy Smart Pay. Easy Smart Pay offers electronic payments via ACH for no processing fee, or by credit/debit cards for only 1.99%. These options are also available for enrolling in automatic installments, allowing taxpayers to break each installment of their property tax bills into smaller payments. Easy Smart Pay collects, holds, and remits these funds to our office on the taxpayer’s behalf prior to the 1st and 2nd installment due dates.

We know times can often be difficult and encourage taxpayers who have missed their payments and become delinquent to contact our office or visit ttc.inyo.gov to complete and submit a penalty cancellation request. These requests are reviewed by the Treasurer-Tax Collector personally to verify if each request meets legal criteria for penalty cancellation.

Our staff and services continue to be available to the public at our Independence location within the Courthouse, via email at inyottc@inyocounty.us, or by phone at 760-878-0312. We sincerely encourage taxpayers to contact our office for any questions or assistance and we wish the residents of Inyo County a very happy holiday season.
