Property Taxes
The County Tax Collector has released new information on the impact of COVID-19 to tax payments. The April 10, 2020 deadline for property tax payments will not be extended. However, tax payers unable to remit their taxes on time for reasons related to COVID-19 will be able to submit a request for a penalty cancellation starting April 11, 2020. That request will be considered by a special team. Please visit the Los Angeles County Tax Collector webpage for more information and answers to frequently asked questions.
Please Help Your Neighbors
If you are able to assist a neighbor who is 65 or older, or a neighbor who has an underlying medical condition, reach out via phone, text, or drop a note on their doorstep to ask if they need anything before you go to the grocery store or pharmacy. We are all in this together. We have included the image of a handout, below, that you can print, fill-out, and leave with your neighbors.
Do Not Overbuy Food or Supplies
There is no shortage of food or home supplies. As stressed by the California Governor and the White House on March 15, there is no need to stockpile these items.
