San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister reminded property owners that Monday is the final day to pay delinquent property taxes before incurring penalties.
After Monday, unpaid bills go into default and receive additional penalties of 1.5% each month.
"The deadline to pay your delinquent property taxes and avoid additional penalties is today," McAllister said. "Unpaid bills will go into default and receive an additional $33 redemption fee plus penalties that can add up to 18% a year — that is substantial."
Taxpayers can pay by:
— Going online to sdttc.com to pay before midnight, July 1;
— Mailing a postmarked payment before/on July 1;
— Calling the Treasurer-Tax Collector's office at 855-829-3773; or
— Going in person to one of the three branch offices in Chula Vista, Santee and San Marcos before 5 p.m., July 1.
