When are my property taxes due?
Property tax statements are mailed in October, after budgets and tax rates are set by each jurisdiction. Taxes are due upon receipt, and delinquent if paid after January 31st. State law requires that penalty and interest be charged on taxes paid after January 31.
Failure to receive a tax bill does not affect the validity of the tax, penalty, or interest liability.
If you did not receive your tax statement, you can retrieve a statement by visiting our website at Tax Office | Property Tax Lookup/Payment Application (dallascounty.org).
What is the deadline for filing an appraisal protest?
No later than May 15th. Contact your local Appraisal District for more information.
Do you consider the mail postmark as the payment date?
Yes, we use the Post Office’s postmark, not a meter date, to comply with Tax Code Section 1.08.
