Property Tax Litigation

With soaring budgets deficits and little appetite to cut expenses,  county, city and school taxing authorities are getting more aggressive that ever in filing law suits for collection of past due property taxes.  Historically, Texas property owners who failed to pay their property taxes could expect to be charge penalties, interest and court cost equal to 38-43% of their property taxes.  Some counties have viewed the penalties and interest as a source of additional revenue and were content with waiting several years before attempting collection efforts.  The trend now is for the county to bring suit within the same year that taxes are delinquent because the need the tax revenue now!

Homeowner’s find themselves scrambling to rebalance their family budgets, refinancing,  or borrowing for retirement accounts to pay the taxes. In some cases, more traditional sources are not an option. Property owner’s who find themselves in this situation should consider a Texas property tax loan.  Whatever their course of action homeowner’s should exhaust ever means to get Property Tax Help paid as the penalties, interest and threat of litigation can be devastating to family finances.
