Williamson County Property Owners: Property Taxes Due Soon

CEDAR PARK, TX — Attention property owners: Your taxes are soon coming due and must be paid by month's end in order to avoid penalties and interest.

Williamson County Tax Assessor/Collector Larry Gaddes reminds property owners that 2017 property taxes must be paid in full by Jan. 31. By doing so on this date, property owners will avoid being assessed accruing penalties and interest, Gaddes said.

The most common payment options include:

• Online at www.wilco.org/propertytax using Credit/Debit card (2.19% vendor fee applies) or E-Check ($1.00 vender fee applies).
• Mailed to 904 S. Main St., Georgetown, TX 78626 · In person at any location – make a same day appointment at www.wilco.org/propertytax.
• Drop box at the Georgetown office only - located to the right of the front door.

For a full list of payment choices visit www.wilco.org/propertytax and click on PAYMENT OPTIONS.
While taxpayers are strongly encouraged to avoid the rush and pay before Jan 31, if they wait until the last day they're urged to either pay online through the tax office website, pay in person at the nearest tax office or request a postmark from a post office clerk for payments sent by mail.

Placing payments in a U.S. Postal Service drop box does not guarantee a same day postmark and using a bank’s online bill pay could delay payment, both of which could result in additional penalties and interest, Gaddes noted. The tax office is located at 904 S. Main St. in Georgetown.
