How do I apply for a refund for an overpayment or erroneous payment on my property tax account?
Overpayment or erroneous property tax payments over $5.00 are researched and generally refunded without a request from the taxpayer. These types of refunds are generally processed 30-45 days from the date of the payment. However, if the refund is over $20, the refund may take additional time due to the approval process outlines in section 31.11 of the Texas Property Tax Code.
