What if you don’t pay my Texas Property Taxes?

What if you don’t pay your taxes?

The longer you allow your delinquent property taxes to go unpaid, the more expensive and risky it becomes for you.
  • You will have penalty and interest charges added to your taxes. Regular penalty charges may be as high as 12 percent, depending on how long the tax remains unpaid. Interest will be charged at the rate of 1 percent per month, with no maximum. Private attorneys hired by taxing units to collect delinquent accounts can charge an additional penalty to cover their fees.
  • You will receive delinquent tax notices. The tax collector will send you at least one notice that your taxes are delinquent. They often send additional notices and warnings.
  • You may have the option to set up an installment plan. Some tax collectors will allow you to pay delinquent taxes in installments for up to 36 months. They are not required to offer this option, however.
    Before signing an installment agreement, you should know that the law considers your signature an “irrevocable admission” that you owe all the taxes covered by the agreement.
  • You may be sued. The tax collector’s last resort is to take a delinquent taxpayer to court. Court costs will be added to the delinquent tax bill.
    Each person who owns taxable property on Jan. 1 is liable for all taxes due on the property for that year. A person who owned taxable property on Jan. 1 can be sued for delinquent taxes even if the property has been sold or transferred since then.
  • You may face problems in selling your property. Each taxing unit holds a tax lien on each item of taxable property. A tax lien automatically attaches to property on Jan. 1 each year to secure payment of all taxes. This tax lien gives the courts the power to foreclose on the lien and seize the property, even if its ownership has changed. The property then will be aucotioned and the proceeds used to pay the taxes. As a result of the tax lien, someone who purchases real estate cannot obtain a clear title until all the delinquent taxes owed on the property are paid in full. If you are buying a portion of a larger parcel of land, check the taxes on the larger parcel. You will not be able to clear a tax lien against your part unless taxes on the whole are paid.

Texas Property Tax Time

As you may know...Tax bills were sent out in most counties in early October.
In most cases, the deadline for paying your property taxes is Jan. 31. Taxes that remain unpaid on Feb. 1 are considered delinquent. Penalty and interest charges are added to the original amount.
Most property owners pay their property taxes before the year's end so they can deduct the payments from their federal income taxes. If you haven't received a tax bill because the ARB is still reviewing a protest on your property, you may make a conditional tax payment. You must pay either last year's tax amount for the property or the taxes due on the ARB order, whichever sum is less. Once the ARB sets a value, the tax collector will send you either a supplemental tax bill or a tax refund.
Check with the tax collection office on local payment options that may be available, such as:
  • discounts, if you pay your taxes early;
  • split payment of taxes, allowing you to pay half your taxes by Nov. 30 and the remainder by June 30 without any penalty;
  • partial payment of your taxes;
  • payment by credit card, with an additional fee of up to 5 percent;
  • escrow agreements for a special year-round account; and
  • work contracts, in lieu of paying taxes, for certain taxpayers doing certain duties.
installment payments for homestead taxes for persons aged 65 or older years of age or disabled are available to any taxpayer who qualifies. For more infomation please go to State of Texas Website at http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/proptax/remedy10/remedy10_8.html
