Cheat Sheet for Texas Property Tax Dates & Deadlines

Here is your annual cheat sheet for property tax dates and deadlines for homeowners.

January 31: Last day to pay previous years’ property taxes without penalty and interest. If you have a mortgage most lenders collect the property taxes each month, hold it in escrow, then pay the tax bill on your behalf each year. If you are unsure contact your mortgage lender. Note: Failure to receive a property tax statement does not waive penalty and interest.

Mid-April: Tax assessor mails appraised value and property taxes for the current year.

May 15: Last day to file a protest for property taxes with the Appraisal Review Board (ARB).

October 1: Tax assessor mails tax bills for the current year. Payment is due by January 31 of the following year. Note: Failure to receive a property tax statement does not waive penalty and interest.

Candice was a great asset in our home buying journey. Being 7 months pregnant and very emotional, she reassured me of the whole process, was completely patient, and really took the time to understand my wants and needs. Candice is the only realtor I will ever use!
Candice was GREAT! Knowledgeable, professional and communication each step during our buying process.
“Candice was amazing! We had friends who were selling their house at the same time as us, and we heard horror stories of realtors who where never accessible, who never provided updates, etc. Candice was NOT that type of realtor! She was always available to answer our questions and took it upon herself to update us frequently. She made the whole process of selling our house easy, and she had a way of making us feel as if we were her only client, or at least her most important client. On top of all of that, she sold our house in NINE DAYS! I cannot recommend her enough!
