All treasurer-tax collector branches temporarily closed to the public

SAN DIEGO – Given the recent increases in COVID-19 cases, San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister closed all five branches to the public until further notice effective July 6.

“Our downtown branch will remain open July 1 and 2, but starting Monday, we will close our public-facing counters as a precautionary measure, based on social distancing recommendations from local officials,” said McAllister.

The other four Treasurer-Tax Collector offices in Kearny Mesa, San Marcos, Chula Vista and Santee have remained closed to the public since March and will do so for the foreseeable future.

June 30 was the 2019-2020 tax year deadline, so all unpaid secured property tax bills are now in default and the tax roll has been closed. For those who mailed their payment before June 30, it may take up to six weeks for the payment to be processed.  Supplemental and defaulted bills will be available online the third week of July. More information is available and unsecured tax bills can be paid now on the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s website at https://www.sdttc.com.

Those who must pay in cash can obtain a cashier’s check or money order and mail their payment to 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 162, San Diego, CA 92101. Drop boxes will still be available outside all Treasurer-Tax Collector branches for those who must drop off a check payment, but cash will not be accepted in the drop boxes.

While the branches are closed, customers can still conduct business by visiting the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s website.
