Calaveras CA Property Tax Due Dates 2026-27
Calaveras County secured property taxes follow California’s annual property-tax cycle. The first installment is due November 1, and the second is due February 1. The practical deadline focus is avoiding delinquency after December 10 and April 10.
First Installment
November 1, 2026 is the due date for the first secured property-tax installment.
First Installment Delinquent
December 10, 2026 is the last day to pay the first installment without penalty.
Second Installment
February 1, 2027 is the due date for the second secured property-tax installment.
Second Installment Delinquent
April 10, 2027 is the statutory delinquency date; because it falls Saturday, confirm county handling.
Important: Calaveras County taxpayers should confirm exact payment instructions, parcel status, and weekend or holiday deadline treatment with the Treasurer-Tax Collector. Official county records control whether a bill is current, paid, or delinquent.
Calaveras County Property Tax Penalties
Late property-tax payments in Calaveras County can add penalties and collection costs to the amount due. Because the county collects taxes, bonds, direct charges, and special assessments for many taxing agencies, parcel-level bill details should be checked before each deadline.
What Happens If You Miss a Payment?
For 2026-27, the first installment becomes delinquent after December 10, 2026 at 5 p.m. or close of business, whichever is later, and a 10% penalty generally applies. The second installment is tied to April 10, 2027; because that date falls on Saturday, confirm the next-business-day deadline with Calaveras County. Late second installments generally include a 10% penalty plus statutory county costs.
Important Reminder for Property Owners
Keep the tax bill, parcel number, and payment confirmation handy, especially if paying from outside San Andreas or using a last-minute online payment. The calculator cannot verify official payment status, delinquent-roll charges, or parcel-specific corrections.

How to Calculate Your Calaveras County Property Tax
Start with the assessed value, choose the closest Calaveras County local area, and add known exemptions, assessments, or direct charges from the tax bill. The calculator provides a planning estimate, not an official bill from the Treasurer-Tax Collector.
Step 1
Enter the assessed value used for taxation before exemptions, local charges, or special assessments are added.
Step 2
Select a representative area such as Angels Camp, San Andreas, Murphys, Valley Springs, or Bear Valley.
Step 3
Enter the exact TRA rate if your parcel's official tax-rate area is known from county or BOE records.
Step 4
Apply the homeowner exemption if the property is owned and occupied as a qualifying principal residence.
Step 5
Add special assessments or fixed charges that appear separately on the Calaveras County tax bill.
Step 6
Include Mello-Roos or CFD charges if the parcel is inside a community facilities district.
Step 7
Enter parcel taxes or direct local charges tied to schools, services, districts, or voter-approved obligations.
Step 8
Use a projected assessed-value increase for planning, while actual changes remain governed by California assessment law.
Step 9
Click Calculate Tax to combine taxable value, rate, exemptions, and charges into an estimated property-tax result.
Calaveras 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 Calaveras County value is $410,000 and the selected local rate is 1.0817%, the ad valorem estimate is about $4,435 before parcel-specific bonds, direct charges, or assessments are added.
