Description of Program and Relief
Waiver of Property Tax Late Penalties for Those Impacted by COVID-19
In recognition of the financial hardships created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alameda County Office of the Treasurer and Tax Collector (TTC) will work with property owners to alleviate penalties for late property tax payments due to COVID-19. After the current property tax delinquency date of April 10, 2020, the TTC will begin accepting requests to cancel late fees for those property owners who can establish that they have been financially impacted by COVID-19. Property owners will remain responsible for the property taxes, but the TTC will work with them on an individual basis to determine when they must pay those taxes.

Waivers are available to homeowners, small businesses, and small landlords.
To qualify, applicants must submit a penalty cancellation request form, which the TTC will make available after April 10, 2020, and sign a statement with supporting documentation representing that they were unable to pay their property taxes on time for reasons related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as illness, underemployment or unemployment, or business losses.
