PENALTY CANCELLATION REQUEST
PLEASE REVIEW THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION
BEFORE COMPLETING YOUR REQUEST
A taxpayer may request cancellation of any penalty assessed on a secured or
unsecured property by completing and submitting this request. The request is required
to be completed with all supporting documentation, and it must be signed.
The following summarizes key sections of the California Revenue & Taxation Code
(R&TC) that provide the legal basis to determine when a tax payment is considered
timely, or when a tax penalty cancellation request can be granted. For the complete
R&TC, go to: leginfo.ca.gov/.html/rtc_table_of_contents.html.
2512
A mailed tax payment is considered timely when it is postmarked on or prior to
the delinquency date by the United States Postal Service (foreign postmarks and
private metered postage are not acceptable).
2610.5
Failure to receive annual tax bill is never grounds to cancel a tax penalty.
4911(a)
If the taxpayer can demonstrate that the current taxes were paid on a wrong
parcel, by mistake, Tax Collector shall cancel the credit on the unintended
property and transfer the payment to the property intended; provided the
payment was received on time for the correct amount of the tax due, and before
the property has transferred ownership, and before two years have elapsed since
the date of payment.
4920-4925
A penalty may be cancelled if the taxpayer can demonstrate that prior year taxes
were paid on a wrong parcel, by mistake, and the payment was received on time
for the correct amount of the tax due.
4985
A penalty may be cancelled upon showing proof that the payment was not made
timely, or made in the proper amount, because of information expressly given to
the taxpayer in writing by the County.
4985.2
A penalty may be cancelled if the failure to pay on time is shown to be for
reasons outside the taxpayer’s control, provided the taxpayer exercised “ordinary
care in the absence of willful neglect,” and the principal payment for the proper
amount of the tax due is made no later than June 30 of the fourth fiscal year
following the fiscal year in which the tax became delinquent.
4986
A penalty may be cancelled to correct a specified error on the part of the County.
