§ 29107 Unsecured Property Tax Rates

• •If your property isn't properly secured (like not paying taxes on time), the tax rates are already set by the law.
• •The government doesn't need to officially announce these tax rates—they're automatically applied.
• •This rule is based on a part of the state constitution.

You own a house but forget to pay your property taxes for a few years.

The tax rates for your unpaid taxes are already set by the law, so the government can charge you those rates without sending you a special notice.
