SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — The second installment of the secured property tax is due and will be delinquent if not paid on or before April 10, said a Tuesday news release from El Dorado County Treasurer-Tax Collector K.E. Coleman.

“The delinquency date falls on Monday, April 10. Property tax payments must be received by this office or must have a U.S. Postal Service postmark with this date or penalties will be imposed in accordance with state law,” Coleman said.
