“The reason I’m calling is to let people know about their taxes. I did not get my tax bill from the county. I got a phone call from someone who knew me. It was put in their envelope with their tax thing. I feel that this could happen to someone else in Gilroy and they should know about it and know who to call. Their phone number is 808-7900. It is the county’s fault, not yours.”

Red Phone: Dear Tax Man Cometh, Thanks for the reminder, good caller. According to the county’s website, Santa Clara County property owners should have received their bill by Friday. It is up to you to contact the office if you have not received one.Â
