When Are Property Tax Bills Mailed in Texas?
Starting in October the tax assessors are beginning to mail property tax bills for the year which is due in full by January 31 to avoid costly late fees. Note: Failure to receive a property tax statement does not waive penalty and interest.
Your property tax dollars are used to fund community services such as:
- Public schools
- Infrastructure projects
- Police and fire departments
- And other local services
The tax rates set by local elected officials at your school district, county commissioners court, and city council every year help determine how much your property tax bill will be.
