Michelle Bodley, Nevada County Treasurer & Tax Collector, would like to remind property owners that the due date for the second installment of the 2024-2025 secured tax bill is April 10 at 5 p.m. Payments must be received in this office or show a postmark of April 10. If mailing less than 7 days before this due date, we highly encourage a hand-stamped, timely postmark to ensure timely payment. If received after the April 10 date without a timely postmark, a 10% penalty plus a $10 cost will be added for late payment.
If you own property in Nevada County and have not received a tax bill, a copy may be printed from the tax collector’s website at https://www.nevadacountyca.gov/348/Treasurer-Tax-Collector.

You must have your assessment number and the amount due. Please note there is a 2.38% fee associated with credit/debit card transactions but no charge for electronic checks.
- Drop-Box: A convenient outside drive-up Drop Box is available in the parking lot of the Government Center at 950 Maidu Ave., Nevada City until 5 p.m. on April 10. Follow the signs for location.
- Mail: If mailing your payment, send payment along with your payment stub to P.O. Box 128, Nevada City, CA 95959-0128. Once again, if mailing close to April 10, it is IMPERATIVE to get a hand-stamped timely postmark, or you will run the risk of a penalty due to a late postmark.
