Property Tax Collection Rates Soar – Help is Available for Delinquent Taxpayers

The collection rate for secured property taxes for FY 2014-15 is at 98.25%, making this the highest collection rate in the last 20 years, Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector Shari Freidenrich announced. Incoming receipts for the second installment are $133 million or 5.4% higher than the same time last year. Electronic payments represent 55% of all incoming payments, up 2% from last year. Steps taken to streamline the payment process also has reduced wait times at our public counter, as taxpayers generally waited less than 10 minutes to pay in person.

Treasurer Freidenrich said her office has mailed approximately 30,000 delinquent notices to taxpayers who did not pay their property taxes in full for the FY 2014-15 tax year, down 7% from the previous year and 20% from three years ago. Delinquent taxes from FY 2014-15 will be considered defaulted if full payment is not received or postmarked on or before June 30, 2015. After that date, the Treasurer adds a $15 administrative cost and a penalty of 1.5% per month (18% per year) to the amount due until the tax bill is fully paid. After going five years unpaid, the Treasurer-Tax Collector will sell the parcel at an annual property tax auction sale. Continue reading→

Deadline to Start Installment Plan for Five Year Tax Defaulted Property is July 1

Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector Shari L. Freidenrich, states that July 1 is the last day for an owner of real property to initiate a Five Year Installment Plan for property that has delinquent taxes outstanding for five or more years. The property owner must qualify to enter into an Installment Plan by meeting certain criteria. All property that has been tax defaulted for five or more years may be subject to tax auction by the Treasurer-Tax Collector unless they are currently on a Five Year Installment Plan. If these tax-defaulted properties over five years do not have an installment plan initiated by July 1, the only way to avoid the tax auction is to pay 100% of the taxes, penalties, and fees levied on the property prior to the date of the next tax auction.

Protest against Joe Arpaio today at 5:30 pm, at the Nixon Library

Posted on February 8, 2011 by Art Pedroza Posted in Civil Rights, Entertainment, Hate, Orange County, Politics, Republican Party 6 Comments

The dreaded Mexican-basher Joe Arpaio, who serves as Sheriff of Maricopa County, in Arizona, is going to be speaking tonight at the Nixon Library, which is located at 18001 Yorba Linda Blvd., in Yorba Linda, along with other Republicans, including

New Orange County Treasurer/Tax Collector Shari Freidenrich
Actor Lou Ferrigno
Commentators Phil Liberatore, Larry Elder and James Hirsen

I am very disappointed to see Freidenrich participating in this event. I met her during her campaign last year and she seemed somewhat moderate. I guess I was wrong about her!

Word just in that there will be an official organized protest of the event, starting at 5:30 pm. Click here for more info, on Facebook.

This event is part of the Liberatore Speaker Series. I have never heard of him, but any friend of Arpaio is suspect.

Attending this event will cost you $50. If that sounds good to you, click here to buy a ticket.

I have a feeling that Santa Ana resident Naui Tetl will be there tonight with his video camera…

Is this the end for O.C. Treasurer-Tax Collector Chriss Street?

Posted on March 7, 2010 by Art Pedroza Posted in Elections, Orange County, Politics, Santa Ana Leave a comment

O.C. Supervisor John Moorlach gave us O.C. Treasurer-Tax Collector Chriss Street and appointed Sheriff Sandra Hutchens

I thought it was a bit odd when I got a message yesterday that Chriss Street wanted to talk to me. So I called him and we had a nice chat about the scumbag that is Brett Barbre.

Today Street’s world came crumbling down as a judge ruled that “Orange County Treasurer- Tax Collector Chriss Street breached his fiduciary duty five years ago when he served as a trustee for a bankrupt truck-trailer company,” according to the O.C. Register.

And the news gets worse for Street. “U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Richard M. Neiter ordered Street to pay more than $7 million in damages in the case. Attorneys for Fruehauf’s End of the Road Trust had asked for Street to pay $11.9 million in damages. ”
