PAY BY MAIL

Mail Tax Payments to:

Marin County Tax Collector

PO BOX 4220

San Rafael, CA 94903

Make checks or money orders payable to the "Marin County Tax Collector" and include installment stubs with all payments. Never send cash.

Be sure to mail payments early so that your envelope is postmarked before the delinquent date. A postmark date and time is acceptable proof of payment.

PAY IN PERSON

To pay in person visit the Tax Collector's office located at 3501 Civic Center Drive, Room 202 San Rafael, CA 94903

Office Hours: Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed holidays.

BANK BILL PAY

To pay your bill through your financial institution, use your parcel number and bill number.

To avoid late penalties, ensure the payment date is at least 5 business days before the due date.

The Tax Collector's office does not recommend using bill pay.

LENDER PAYMENTS

If your lender holds an impound account for you, the tax bill you receive should be marked as "A copy of this bill was sent to a paying agent at their request."

If this is not the case, it's important to contact your lender right away to determine the reason. Remember, the bill is still required to be paid in full by the due date, no matter the situation.
