L.A. County Treasurer and Assessor warn of property tax scam
- It's being reported that unknown people are attempting to fraudulently collect in-person property tax payments at taxpayers' homes, claiming that the homeowner must pay their property taxes in-person because the COVID-19 pandemic has closed County offices to the public.
- The County of L.A. Treasurer and Tax Collector does NOT conduct in-person visits to collect property tax payments. If you are contacted at your home about this, do not make a payment to the person requesting it, and notify the Cerritos Sheriff's Station immediately at (562) 860-0044.
