Frequently Asked Questions
When are Property Taxes Due in Texas? “When are property tax due in Texas” is an often asked question. There is a simple answer and then there exceptions. Let’s start with the simple answer: Texas property taxes are due on January 31st. Property taxes for 2024 are due January 31, 2025. This rule applies in ~97% of cases. Exceptions to the property tax payment deadline occur when: 1) The property was protested, and the appraisal district or appraisal review board did not complete the hearing in time to send a tax bill by January 1. Property taxes are due the later of: January 31 or 30 days after the tax assessor collector mails the property tax bill. 2) The appraisal district has not valued the property. There are two primary reasons the appraisal districts will be delinquent is valuing property: a) it is complex and does not meet their routine valuation models or b) the property has been split into a number of smaller parcels and the appraisal district has not “split-out” the “parent tract” into a number of “child tracts”. Let’s review the Texas property tax calendar to provide perspective.
