Here's How Much Property Tax PG&E Paid To Contra Costa County

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — For the second half of 2020, Pacific Gas and Electric Company paid $21.5 million in Contra Costa County property taxes as part of $268 million in property tax payments to the 50 counties where it owns properties that support gas and electric service, the utility company announced Thursday in a news release.

PG&E's payments of more than $268 million cover the period from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2020.

Total payments for the July 1, 2020-June 30, 2021 tax year are more than $537 million — an increase of nearly $28 million, or 5.5 percent, compared with the prior tax year, company officials said.

The increase in property tax payments reflects PG&E's continuing investments to enhance and upgrade its gas and electrical infrastructure for safety, reliability and wildfire mitigation across Northern and Central California, PG&E said.

"Property tax payments are one of the important ways PG&E helps drive local economies and supports essential public services like education and public safety," said David Thomason, vice president, controller and chief financial officer for PG&E. "This year's payments reflect the substantial local investments we continue to make in our gas and electric infrastructure to create a safer and more reliable system and to better mitigate against wildfires."
