According to K. E. Coleman, El Dorado County Treasurer-Tax Collector, the second installment of the secured property tax is now due and will be delinquent if not paid on or before April 12, 2021. “Due to the usual delinquency date of April 10 falling on a Saturday, taxpayers have an additional few days to pay this year,” says Coleman.
