Amador CA Property Tax Due Dates 2026-27
Amador County follows California’s secured property-tax calendar, with bills generally paid in two installments. The county’s tax calendar lists November 1 and February 1 as installment due dates, while December 10 and April 10 are the key delinquency dates.
First Installment
November 1, 2026 is the due date for the first installment of secured property taxes.
First Installment Delinquent
December 10, 2026 is the delinquency date; penalties apply after this deadline if unpaid.
Second Installment
February 1, 2027 is the due date for the second installment of the secured tax bill.
Second Installment Delinquent
April 10, 2027 is the statutory delinquency date; confirm weekend handling with Amador County.
Important: Amador County advises taxpayers to rely on official tax bills and payment instructions. Mailed payments must be properly addressed and postmarked by the applicable deadline to avoid late penalties.
Amador County Property Tax Penalties
Missing an Amador County secured property-tax deadline can add penalties and costs to the amount due. Since each installment has its own delinquency date, property owners should check both the tax bill and the county’s payment rules before the deadline.
What Happens If You Miss a Payment?
For 2026-27, the first installment becomes delinquent after December 10, 2026 and is subject to a 10% penalty. The second installment is tied to the April 10, 2027 delinquency date; because that date falls on a Saturday, verify Amador County’s next-business-day handling. Late second installments generally include a 10% penalty plus a $10 cost, with additional penalties, costs, and fees possible after delinquent taxes transfer to the delinquent roll.
Important Reminder for Property Owners
Keep proof of payment or USPS postmark if mailing from outside Jackson or another Amador County community. Online, phone, mail, and drop-box payment rules should be checked directly with the Treasurer-Tax Collector before assuming a payment is timely.

How to Calculate Your Amador County Property Tax
Start with the property’s assessed value, choose the closest Amador County local area, and add exemptions or charges shown on the tax bill. The calculator gives a planning estimate, not an official tax amount from the Amador County Tax Collector.
Step 1
Enter the assessed value used for taxation, which may differ from current market value under California rules.
Step 2
Select Jackson, Ione, Plymouth, Sutter Creek, Amador City, unincorporated area, or the countywide base option.
Step 3
Use the exact TRA rate if your parcel's tax-rate area is known from official records.
Step 4
Add the homeowner exemption when the home qualifies as your principal residence under California and county requirements.
Step 5
Enter special assessments or fixed charges that appear separately on the Amador County tax bill.
Step 6
Include Mello-Roos or CFD charges if your parcel is inside a financing district with annual charges.
Step 7
Add parcel taxes or direct local charges that apply to the specific property, district, or service area.
Step 8
Use a projected assessed-value increase for future planning, while remembering California law controls actual assessment changes.
Step 9
Click Calculate Tax to combine taxable value, rate, exemptions, and charges into an estimated property-tax result.
Amador County Property Tax Calculation Formula
Property Tax Estimate = ((Assessed Value – Eligible Exemption) x Applicable Tax Rate) + Voter-Approved Debt + Special Assessments + Fixed Charges + Mello-Roos/CFD Charges + Parcel Taxes or Other Direct Charges
For example: If a taxable Amador County value is $395,000 and the selected local rate is 1.0000%, the base ad valorem estimate is $3,950 before adding parcel-specific direct charges or special assessments.
Visit Other California County Property Tax Calculators
Property-tax estimates should be county-specific because local tax-rate areas, voter-approved bonds, direct assessments, and parcel-level charges vary across California. Nearby counties may follow the same statewide calendar but still produce different estimated bills.

FAQ's
Why can Amador County properties in nearby towns have different tax bills?
Two properties can have different assessed values, tax-rate areas, exemptions, bonds, or direct charges. A parcel in Jackson may not have the same local obligations as one in Ione, Sutter Creek, or an unincorporated area.
How does Proposition 13 affect Amador County assessed values?
Proposition 13 generally limits the base property tax rate and restricts annual increases in assessed value, with reassessment rules applying when certain ownership or property changes occur.
Does refinancing trigger reassessment in Amador County?
Proposition 13 generally limits annual increases in assessed value unless there is a reassessment event. Purchases, ownership changes, and new construction can reset or add to the taxable value.
Can a home purchase create a supplemental tax bill?
Amador County’s Assessor explains that refinancing is not considered a change in ownership or new construction, so refinancing alone generally does not cause reassessment.
Can the assessed value be higher than the home's market value?
Gather the assessed value, parcel number, tax bill, local area, homeowner exemption status, any known TRA rate, special assessments, and direct charges shown on county records.
How does the homeowner exemption work in Amador County?
The homeowner exemption may reduce the annual tax bill for an owner-occupied principal residence. Amador County notes that the exemption is not automatically transferred when a homeowner moves.
Are mobile homes taxed like other property in Amador County?
The Assessor states that mobile homes on permanent foundations and newer mobile homes purchased after June 1980 are generally subject to property taxes like other real property.
What information should I collect before estimating?
The Assessor states that mobile homes on permanent foundations and newer mobile homes purchased after June 1980 are generally subject to property taxes like other real property.
Can new construction increase my Amador County tax assessment?
Assessable new construction can increase the property’s taxable value. The Assessor may treat qualifying solar or certain accessibility-related improvements differently when California exclusion rules apply.
Where can I verify my Amador County property-tax payment status?
Use the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s official pay/view property tax bill tools or contact the office directly. The calculator cannot confirm whether a parcel is paid or delinquent.
