Do you currently have a payment plan with the county for prior property taxes? If so, we want you to know we are here to help you if you find yourself unable to make your payments in the future.
First of all, a county payment plan is a good alternative as it stops all further delinquency penalties and prohibits the tax collector from proceeding with a delinquency lawsuit, which could ultimately result in a foreclosure. Good job enrolling in the plan instead of pushing aside your property tax payment.
Although, some people on the county payment plan have trouble making their monthly payments. If you are on payment plan with the county and miss a payment, you should know that the county has the ability to terminate the payment plan if you miss only one payment. If that happens, the county can then retroactively apply the full penalties, interest and attorney collection fees on the outstanding balance. Therefore, the consequences of missing one payment can be very expensive and can add more than 30% extra to your tax bill.
If you fear you may miss a payment, you should call the tax office to discuss it. Some counties are more lenient than others, but all have the right to terminate your payment plan the first time you are late. Additionally, if you are on a plan now, you should know that you are not eligible for another payment plan for 24 months following the start of your existing plan.
If you determine that you can’t stay on your payment plan, and if the county isn’t willing to work with you, or if they won’t give you a new plan for your next year’s taxes, you may want to consider a property tax payment plan from Hunter-Kelsey of Texas, LLC.
