There are a few ways to show Uncle Sam (or should we say Uncle Fresno?) some love:
The Online Whiz: You, my friend, are a digital dance machine! You can pay your property taxes online using the Fresno County's magical [payment website](there it is!).

FRESNO COUNTY TAX-COLLECTOR
P.O. BOX 1192
FRESNO, CA 93715-1192
Just remember, gotta get that payment postmarked by the due date to avoid any penalty rumbas.

- The In-Person Hustle: Feeling the need to strut your stuff? Head down to the Fresno County Hall of Records (located at 2281 Tulare Street, Fresno, CA 93721) and shake it (pay your taxes) in person. They accept cash, checks, and money orders (because who doesn't love options?).
Bonus Round: Saturday Special - Feeling spontaneous? They also have extended hours on the first Saturday of April to accept your tax payments (check the website for exact timings).
