Albert Uresti, the Bexar County tax assessor-collector, reported that property tax bills are popping up in mailboxes.
Property taxpayers on the two-payment plan system must pay half their bill by Nov 30. The next half is due on June 30.
Four and 10 payment plans, along with a pre-payment plan, are also available.
Lump sum payments are due by Jan. 31. Penalty and interest of 7% will be added to delinquent tax bills on Feb. 1 and increase every month until the account is paid in full.
Uresti said some taxpayers can still reduce the financial pain of a lump sum payment under certain conditions. Taxpayers who have the 65 and older, disabled, or disabled veteran exemptions can still join the residential quarter payment plan until Jan. 31 but must be prepared to make a 25% down payment.
Taxpayers can pay their bills at four county tax offices across the county or online at bexar.org/tax. For more information, call 210-335-2251. Callers must have account information handy when they call.
