Am I responsible for this tax bill?

Responsibility of taxpayer

The obligation to pay unsecured taxes rests with the assessed owner of record on the lien date (January, 12:01 a.m.).  THE DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY AFTER THE LIEN DATE DOES NOT RELIEVE THE ASSESSED OWNER FROM THE OBLIGATION TO PAY UNSECURED TAXES. The Treasurer-Tax Collector can not prorate taxes. Delinquent unsecured taxes are subject to collection enforcement.

If the business or property being assessed has been sold, please contact the County of Monterey Assessor.
