Avoid Penalties! Pay your taxes before February 1, 2025

The last day to pay 2024 property taxes to avoid penalty and interest is Friday, January 31, 2025.

All eight of the Tarrant County Tax Office locations are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central Standard Time (C.S.T.) to assist taxpayers with their property tax payments. “We encourage taxpayers to pay online whenever possible to avoid the crowds. Online systems become heavily used in the last hour of the day. We suggest taxpayers start the online process earlier in the month to avoid complications and not waiting until January 31st if at all possible,” stated Rick D. Barnes, Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector.

Barnes continued, “Please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions. The Tarrant County Tax Office encourages citizens who cannot pay in full to make partial payments. Partial payments will be applied and only the remaining balance will be subject to penalties rather than the full original amount due.”
