§ 53936 Special Assessment Tax Collection

• •If your property has a special fee (like for street repairs) and it's collected with your regular property taxes, it follows the same rules as your taxes.
• •You pay this fee in the same way, at the same time, and in the same amounts as your regular taxes.
• •If you don’t pay on time, you’ll get the same penalties and interest as with regular taxes.
• •If you don’t pay for a long time, your property can be sold to pay off both the taxes and this special fee.

Your city charges a special fee for fixing sidewalks, and this fee is added to your property tax bill.

You have to pay this fee the same way you pay your property taxes—same due dates, same number of payments, and same penalties if you’re late. If you don’t pay, the city can sell your home to cover both the taxes and the sidewalk fee.
