The mission of the Shasta County Treasurer-Tax Collector-Public Administrator's Office is to provide quality service in performing the duties of this office, which include: To receive and safeguard the monies belonging to the County and other agencies in the treasury; to collect all secured, unsecured and supplemental taxes; and to administer the estates of decedents when necessary.

The Tax Collector Section is responsible for the collection of Secured Property Taxes, Supplemental Property Taxes and Unsecured Property Taxes.

Approximately 89,000 secured tax bills, 12,000 supplemental tax bills and 16,000 unsecured tax bills are processed each year. The Tax Collection staff provides processing expertise; information and assistance to individual taxpayers and mortgage professionals; and oversees tax defaulted or delinquent tax payments, selling delinquent property under the approval of the Board of Supervisors.
