📬 2026–2027 Unsecured Property Tax Bills in the Mail

The Ventura County Treasurer-Tax Collector has sent out nearly 20,000 Unsecured Property Tax Bills for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Unsecured Property Taxes are ad valorem (value-based) property taxes billed to the owner of record as of January 1 each year. Because these taxes are not secured by real property (such as land), they are referred to as "unsecured."

These taxes may apply to:
🚤 Boats & Jet Skis
✈️ Aircraft
🏢 Business Fixtures
🪑 Business Furniture
⚙️ Business Machinery & Equipment

⏰ Payment is due August 31. Payments received after 5:00 p.m. on August 31 or bearing a USPS postmark after August 31 will be considered delinquent, and penalties will be imposed in accordance with California law. To avoid penalties, taxpayers are encouraged to mail payments several days before the deadline or use one of the other available payment options.

If you haven't received your bill or have questions, the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office is here to help. For questions, please call 805-654-3744 or visit https://t.co/ZgCZh0zuFu
