How do I securely pay for my supplemental property tax bill?
Like, what? Why is the online system just not available? Excuse my millenial confusion about why they take the system offline if I have a full EFT number and PIN and feel like I should just be able to pay this with a bank transfer instead of incurring fees from using a credit card over the phone. They just say "fees" and NOWHERE does it say what %. The amount owed is high enough that a small percent is a real amount of money.
I never pay for anything with checks. The account I keep this $ in doesn't have a checkbook. I'm paranoid about sending a big check in the mail and that it will get lost / I'll get hit with penalties. This is making me feel childish but it just feels... risky? Can I send it certified mail? Can I just go down to the Treasury Office in downtown to drop it off myself? I tried calling the office phone and of course after being on hold 2x for 30+ minutes, the call just drops.
If anyone has any experience on the matter, please help.
The credit card fee for property tax payments in LA County is 2.3% plus a flat $2.50 transaction fee, so on a $10,000 supplemental bill you're looking at $232.50 in fees. If you want to avoid that but don't want to brave downtown traffic, you can actually pay by e-check over the phone for a flat $1.50 fee, just call the Tax Collector's automated line at 213-974-2111 and have your AIN and PIN ready. I've used that line before and it works even when the online portal is down, though you might have better luck calling right at 8am when they open rather than during peak hours.
You can definitely just go down to the County Tax Collector's office at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration in downtown. I've done the walk-in thing before and they're pretty efficient, just bring the bill and a check or money order and you'll get a stamped receipt right there. Way less stressful than worrying about mail.
yeah you can totally just walk it in to the county tax office downtown, i've done that before. they take checks and cash at the counter no problem, just bring the bill stub with you. honestly way less stressful than mailing a big check, and you get a receipt on the spot so you know it's done
Getting to The Spot church in Los Angeles 2026
yeah & that plaza lot tickets after 2 hrs
I'd take the Metro B Line to Vermont/Beverly then the 204 up Vermont, it drops you a block from the spot. Sunday morning fills the lot by 9:30 so drive only if you're early. A weekday evening is calmer for a first visit.
