TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas — Travis County tax collectors said despite the shutdown, all furloughed workers will still have to meet the property tax deadline by the end of January.
Property taxes are due on Jan 31, but if you don't think you'll meet the deadline, you should pay as much as you can even if it's not the full bill.
If you don't pay it, new interest rates kick in on Feb. 1.
Check your mortgage company to see if they can pay delinquent taxes and then apply the bill to your monthly payments. Let the county know you won;t make the deadline in full so you can create a payment plan.
