Corona Property Tax Search

Corona property tax records are managed by Riverside County. The city does not handle property assessments or tax collection directly. All property tax functions occur at the county level through the Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder and Treasurer-Tax Collector offices. Corona residents can search property records, pay bills, and file exemptions through county portals and offices. Under Proposition 13, the base property tax rate is one percent of assessed value. Additional voter-approved bonds and special assessments may apply depending on property location within Corona. Riverside County maintains comprehensive records for all properties and provides multiple ways to access information and make payments.

Property Tax Due Dates in Corona

Corona property owners get two tax bills per year. First installment bills mail in October and are due November 1. Late after 5:00 pm on December 10 with a ten percent penalty. Second installment bills are due February 1. Late after April 10 with ten percent penalty plus costs.

If you do not get a bill, you still must pay on time. Property owners are responsible even without a bill. Contact the Tax Collector at 951-955-3900 to get a copy. The duplicate bill fee is $3.41 per bill. You can also view your bill online at no cost.

Payments must be received or postmarked by the due date. The county rarely grants extensions. If taxes stay unpaid past June 30, the property goes into default. This adds more penalties and costs. After June 30, an additional 1.5 percent per month accrues on unpaid amounts. The county can eventually sell the property at a tax sale.

Appealing Your Corona Property Value

Corona property owners can appeal their assessment if the value seems too high. File with the Riverside County Assessment Appeals Board between July 2 and September 15. The form is available from the County Assessor or the Clerk of the Board.

Collect evidence to support your appeal. Recent sales of similar homes in Corona work best. A professional appraisal adds weight. Photos showing damage or poor condition help too. The Board sets a hearing where you show your evidence. The Assessor shows their evidence too. Then the Board decides the value.

You do not need a lawyer to appeal. Many owners do it themselves and win. If you win, your value drops for that year. This cuts your tax bill. If you lose, the value stays the same. You can appeal again next year if circumstances change.

The law gives the county up to two years to resolve your appeal. You will get notice of your hearing at least 45 days before. Some counties charge a fee to file or process your application. The county will also charge a fee to prepare findings and conclusions.
