No. California law requires the tax collector to accept the U.S. postmark, not a private meter date, as the date of payment.

No. California law requires the Tax Collector to accept the US Postal Service Postmark or an independent delivery service that is an I. R. S. designated service (example: FedEx), when the date shipped can be ascertained via the shipping slip.
