** IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION**
Electronic Fund Transfer Requirement
and
Wire Instructions for Property Tax Bill Payments
In accordance with the State of California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2503.2 (b), all taxpayers who have a tax liability of $25,000.00 or more per installment are subject to an electronic payment requirement.
Effective December 2000, Riverside County elected to require that property tax payments of $25,000.00 or more per installment should be paid by wire transfer or through our online payment system at www.countytreasurer.org. Failure to comply could result in the payment being returned as if no payment had been attempted and the applicable penalties and costs would apply.
To obtain our wiring instructions contact Courtney Smith at (951) 955-3336 or email
ttcwirepayments@co.riverside.ca.us.
If you are paying 15 or more current secured parcels,
you must submit an electronic payment file via our website at
www.countytreasurer.org/bulkpayments.aspx. Follow the
instructions provided to receive a login and password to access the system. If paying less than 15 parcels or supplemental
or prior year taxes, please provide written notification of what assessment number(s)
are being paid, the date the funds will be wired to our account, and the amount
being wired. Also, include a contact
name, phone number and address.
Without this information, your payment will
not be credited immediately and the wire could be returned resulting in additional
costs and penalties applied to your account(s).
Please retain your bank confirmation for your records.
You may submit your notification of payment via e-mail at
EFT@co.riverside.ca.us
or by FAX at (951) 955-3923.
You may
also electronically pay other taxes not subject to this requirement using the electronic
payment file. If you elect to pay through
our online payment system no further action is required.
If you
should have questions regarding these instructions, you may contact us via e-mail
at
EFT@co.riverside.ca.us
Thank you,
Don Kent
