GREAT NEWS – NEW STREAMLINED PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM COMING TO THE COUNTY OF VENTURA!
The County of Ventura is currently in the process of transitioning to our new Integrated Property Tax Assessment and Collection System (PTACS), which will enable the County of Ventura’s Treasurer-Tax Collector, Assessor, and Auditor-Controller’s Offices to share one system, to handle billings, refunds, and corrections more efficiently, with faster, more streamlined customer service.
During the PTACS system transition, please be advised that for the month of July, 2023, the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office will be able to process Business License payments ONLY. We will NOT be able to process property tax payments until the system goes live. Please be advised that all mailed payments will still be considered timely by postmark date. Please continue to check this website for current updates.
AUGUST UPDATE: WE CAN NOW PROCESS PAYMENTS ON UNSECURED TAXES AND DEFAULTED SECURED TAXES. MORE INFORMATION TO COME WHEN AVAILABLE.
We appreciate your patience during this transition and want to assure you that we are dedicated to providing you with the best possible customer service experience with our new fully integrated Property Tax Assessment and Collection System (PTACS).
If you have further questions or need assistance, please call 805-654-3744.
SCAM ALERT!!! – PLEASE BE AWARE OF FRAUDULENT PROPERTY TAX LETTERS
Ventura County property taxpayers are receiving various versions of letters claiming to be from the County of Ventura and other entities, stating that your property will be seized by the State of California for any unpaid taxes, penalties, liens and interest.
