It’s that time of year again, not only income taxes are due, but SF property taxes.

The second installment of taxes becomes officially due and payable on February 1 and becomes delinquent after April 10.

Payments made by U.S. mail and postmarked on or before the delinquent date are considered paid on time; private/office postage meters are not acceptable as proof of timely payment. Foreign mail, regardless of the postmark, must be received no later than December 10* and April 10* respectively. Of course, you are welcome to pay both installments at the first deadline should you wish to do so. Many homeowners choose to do this for income tax reporting purposes and/or for convenience. Online payments and automated phone payments completed by 11:59 on the deadline dates are considered paid on time, provided the payments are approved and paid in full. Partial payments are not permitted. The first installment must be paid in full (including any delinquent fees, if applicable) before the second installment can be paid.

A friendly reminder to anyone still running Microsoft XP on their computer(s):

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-support-help

What is Windows XP end of support?

Microsoft provided support for Windows XP for the past 12 years. But the time came for us, along with our hardware and software partners, to invest our resources toward supporting more recent technologies so that we can continue to deliver great new experiences.

As a result, technical assistance for Windows XP is no longer available, including automatic updates that help protect your PC. Microsoft has also stopped providing Microsoft Security Essentials for download on Windows XP. (If you already have Microsoft Security Essentials installed, you will continue to receive antimalware signature updates for a limited time, but this does not mean that your PC is secure because Microsoft is no longer providing security updates to help protect your PC.)

If you continue to use Windows XP now that support has ended, your computer will still work but it might become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses. Internet Explorer 8 is also no longer supported, so if your Windows XP PC is connected to the Internet and you use Internet Explorer 8 to surf the web, you might be exposing your PC to additional threats. Also, as more software and hardware manufacturers continue to optimize for more recent versions of Windows, you can expect to encounter more apps and devices that do not work with Windows XP.
