MENDOCINO Co., 3/31/20 — Both Mendocino County and the state of California have declared a state of emergency due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, and a number of county departments have closed their offices and changed some policies. However, property taxes are still due on April 10, a requirement of state law that cannot be waived by the Mendocino County Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office, which issued a press release today explaining the situation. The local tax office remains closed, though property owners have a number of options for how to submit payment.
Here’s the March 31 press release from Mendocino County Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office:

So collecting money is considered non-essential by the genius who runs Mendo.. Good job Carmel!
Yes, good job, Carmel Angelo, in protecting County employees from unnecessary exposure to a potentially deadly virus!
Despite the manure spewed from “leaders” in Sacramento about “helping” us, one thing definitely does not change: their revenue addiction. This “deadline” should be waived during this emergency, by whatever means are necessary (Gubernatorial action, or action by the Legislature – if they created a problem that is inflexible for real life and have to be “inconvenienced” to fix it, that’s their problem). Newsom has no problem in ordering “lesser” people to waive their income needs.
I just drove up to the front of the building and dropped my payment in the dropbox.
What’s the big deal?
I would imagine those with no income will find it a big deal. Unemployment checks are weeks out, and the so-called “stimulus” checks are also weeks out (up to 20 weeks, per today’s news stories, but hopefully by early May). And before anyone says “use your savings,” I will say government created this crisis, so the government can mitigate its effects on the little folks.
Can’t leave cash payment in dropbox
I am seriously worried about my dad’s property being taken from me and making me homeless again after 13 years of homelessness i have been working on understanding the way the world works and I have been working on coming up with the taxes because of the way I have been just surviving and the things that are going on the ways I have to do that and the way it is for me to do that I don’t know how I can do it but I don’t want to be homeless anymore and I don’t know what to do. I don’t think that I can do it without help i have 5000 in taxes and 800 left on mortgage payments to be paid for everything I am so concerned about my health and my life being homeless and the way it was has been hard to get myself or this problem with taxes on the property under control and I have to pay for it all or else I have to go back to homelessness i have been recycling for years and eating from trashcans and I haven’t been able to save my life and all of the things that I have been given my dad i feel likely that I will lose. I don’t know what to say about the fact that I have been in a lot of trouble for a while but I don’t know how to find help to get myself out of the position I am in a position of a person who is needing help please let me know if you can help me out with my problem and I willingly will respond. sincerely to you.
