San Benito County, California

Where to obtain records

San Benito County Tax Collector / Property Tax Records

How to find the information

Payment Options says assessment numbers must include dashes in the 000-000-000 format. To see defaulted taxes, use the assessment number and the RED TAB. For an address, the county suggests the first three letters of the street when abbreviations cause trouble. Request the account ledger from the office if a view is insufficient.

For an existing delinquent secured-property report, parcel account/payment ledger, bill copy or dated redemption amount, provide the parcel/account/assessment reference, fiscal years, desired as-of date and inspection or electronic-copy format. Ask which current, supplemental, defaulted and payment-plan amounts are included, whether recent payments have posted, and whether any power-to-sell or sale status applies. Confirm record-copy, certification, research or extract fees. A valuation roll, recorded lien, payment screen or dated sale inventory does not certify today’s unpaid balance.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for San Benito County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”

Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.
