What’s in it
AI summary County treasurers will be required to allow people to make partial payments on their property taxes instead of only accepting one large yearly or twice-yearly payment. This new rule also applies to taxes for mobile homes and manufactured homes. These changes will start affecting property taxes due on or after July 1, 2026.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, the county treasurer may accept partial payments for property taxes as an alternative to the annual or semiannual installments. This bill requires each county treasurer to accept partial payments for property taxes in lieu of one annual payment or the semiannual installments. The bill makes a similar change to the provision governing the collection of property taxes on manufactured homes and mobile homes under Code chapter 435. The bill applies to property taxes due and payable in fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2026.
