Property Tax Statements Mailed In Harris County

Over 1 million property tax statements were mailed to property owners in Harris County recently. Payments are due Jan. 31.

HOUSTON, TX — Over 1 million Harris County residents have been mailed property tax statements this week, according to Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector Ann Harris Bennett.

Taxpayers should receive their statements in the coming days and weeks and could arrive later than usual because of changes in the United States Postal Service's delivery times, Bennett said. If statements are not received in a timely manner through the mail, taxpayers can view their bill on the Harris County tax website.

Property taxes are due Jan. 31, and there are several options to ensure payments are received or postmarked by the deadline.
