For your convenience, bills are mailed out with one or two (depending on the number of installments due) self-addressed return envelopes, making it easier to mail in your check or money order payment(s).

All payments being mailed in must be received or legibly postmarked by the United States Postal Service by the delinquent date in order to be accepted as a timely payment; remember, the postmark determines the date of your payment, not the date on your check or money order.

All payments should be made payable to the YUBA COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR.

If you do not have the payment envelopes that were provided by our office, please mail your payment to:

Yuba County Tax Collector
915 8th Street, Suite 103
Marysville CA 95901-5273

Property tax payments are gladly accepted in person, in our office, in the form of cash, check, or money order. We are open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the exception of holidays.

Our payment drop box is available for use during busier times only (December 1st thru 10th and April 1st thru 10th). When in use, our drop box is located just inside the main entrance of the Government Center (directly across from the security station/metal detector). When using it, please DO NOT deposit cash into the drop box; checks and money orders only, please.

We have partnered with Point & Pay to accept credit card, debit card, and e-check payments online and over-the-phone through an automated service.  These payments are subject to convenience fees that are charged by and paid directly to the vendor (Point & Pay). All fee amounts are disclosed prior to the transaction being completed. When making a credit card, debit card, or e-check payment, please be sure to make note of your confirmation number. Please be aware that defaulted taxes can only be paid with a credit card, debit card, or e-check through the online option, not by phone. At this time, we are not set-up to process your credit/debit card transactions at the counter.

Yuba County has partnered with Easy Smart Pay to offer the taxpayers of Yuba County a monthly payment option. Interested taxpayers can utilize this online option as an easy, secure way to break up their tax bill into manageable payments. ACH (bank transfer) payments are free and credit card payments are subject to a fee of 1.99%. Get more information or enroll here.
For those individuals or companies that have an aggregate tax amount owing that exceeds $50,000.00 annually, you are required (as per California Revenue & Taxation Code §2503.2(b)) to remit your payment for property taxes by way of ACH. Please contact our office at (530) 749-7840 to request payment instructions if you do not already have them.

All corresponding payment stubs must be remitted to our office prior to the receipt of the electronic funds; if corresponding payment stubs are not remitted or received, you may be subject to a $3.00 duplicate fee per parcel should we regenerate them or your payment may be rejected altogether due to lack of instruction.

Returned/Dishonored Payments

Regardless of payment type, if your payment is returned or dishonored by your financial institution for any reason, your parcel/assessment will be subject to a $35.00 returned payment fee (per returned item/payment), and your replacement payment must be in the form of certified funds or cash.

If your payment was made prior to the delinquent date, subsequently returned/dishonored by your financial institution, and your replacement payment is/was remitted after the delinquent date, your assessment would be subject to all applicable penalties/cost/interest. 

Receipts

  • If you are mailing your payment in and you require a receipt, please mail in your entire bill with a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Without the self-addressed, stamped envelope, we will not be able to return your receipt/bill to you, and it will remain in our office for one year. 
  • If you are paying in person, we can stamp your bill "PAID" or process your payment while you wait and provide you with a system generated receipt. 
  • If you lose your receipt, you can pull up a copy (historical data is limited) of your bill which will show "PAID" on each installment that has been paid, along with the date that the payment was posted, and print it for your records at no charge. In order to do so, click on the "Click Here" link under Payment by Credit Card, follow the instructions to find your parcel or assessment number, click on "View Details," and once in, click "View Tax Bill". From there, a PDF version of your bill will generate, and you can print it out or save it for your records. 

If you have recently paid off your mortgage and no longer have an impound/escrow account for your taxes, and you received an assessee copy of your tax bill, please contact our office, and we will remail a bill to you that has installment (payment) stubs on it.
