Texas Property Tax Loans ? A Solution For Delinquent Residential & Commercial Property Taxe
While the recent recession and economic crisis have made it difficult to secure many types of loans, Texas property tax loans stand out as an exception. Texas continues to report some of the highest property tax rates in the country and with real estate values holding up well in this state, there has been little tax relief for property owners. Given the high rates and the ever present challenges in the economy, property owners should know that delinquencies can be addressed with a property tax loan before penalties, interest, and possible foreclosure by the county.
With the economic crisis worsening, property tax lenders expect a record number of borrowers in the months ahead. If you are interested in a solution for your delinquent property taxes, these frequently asked questions may assist your search.
Q: What is a property tax loan and how can it help me?
A: Property taxes are due in a lump sum by January 31st. The amount of tax due increases every month thereafter until the taxes are paid. A tax loan consolidates the delinquent taxes, accrued penalties, interest, and any legal fees owned on the property into a loan with affordable monthly payments. The taxing authority´s existing lien is transferred to the property tax lender as security for the loan.

Property Tax Payment
Taxing units usually mail their tax bills in October. The date of delinquency is normally February 1st. If you have not received your tax bill by January 1st, you should contact your tax assessor to determine the amount owed.
Property tax bills often include more than one taxing jurisdiction because some taxing jurisdictions combine their collection operations. Likewise, certain properties will be subject to multiple taxing jurisdictions collected by different assessors. Contact the central appraisal district for your respective county to determine the taxing jurisdictions which apply to your property. Many county central appraisal districts now post their property tax data online.
If you escrow taxes and insurance, then your mortgage company will pay the property taxes on your home. You should receive a receipt from the tax assessor indicating payment has been made. The receipt is important to retain, as many homeowners deduct property taxes for federal income tax purposes.
When Is the Deadline for Payment?
In most cases, the deadline for paying your property taxes is January 31. Taxes that remain unpaid on February 1 are considered delinquent. Penalty and interest charges are added to the original amount.
Taxes are due in one lump sum. Some tax collection offices provide payment options, such as:
Payment by credit card, typically with additional fees of 3% to 5% Deferment or installment plans for taxes on homestead properties for disabled property owners or property owners over 65 years of age Discounts for early payment Partial payment of your taxes
