The impact of the COVID-19 has been financially devastating for many Orange County taxpayers.The last timely payment date remains at April 10, as neither the County nor the Treasurer-Tax Collector, has the legal authority under the statue to change or extend this date. The April 10 date is set by state law, which can only be amended by the legislature.For taxpayers that do not make payment of property taxes due to COVID-19 by April 10 can submit a Penalty Cancellation Request Form and documentation to support the cancellation of penalties as allowed in limited circumstances under current state law. If you have property tax payment questions, please email ttcinfo@ttc.ocgov.com. Stay safe!

Fountain Valley has always been a unique community and we always come together when time is tough.
