In California, secured property taxes are paid in two yearly installments. The first is due on November 1 and becomes delinquent after 5 p.m. on December 10, with a 10% penalty. The second is due on February 1 and delinquent after 5 p.m. on April 10, with a 10% penalty plus extra fees. If a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, payment is accepted the next business day without penalty.
