For all property owners in the Austin area, a quick reminder: The deadline to pay your 2025 property taxes is January 31. Any unpaid balance after this date may be subject to penalties and interest, so now is a good time to review your account and confirm that your payment is up to date.
Although Texas raised the Homestead Exemption as part of the 2025 property tax relief, the exact amount on each property’s tax bill may still vary depending on factors such as assessed value, local tax rates, and whether the exemptions have been properly applied. For accuracy and peace of mind, it’s best to review your official tax statement directly.

✅ Quick Tips for Property Owners
If you own both a primary residence and investment properties, remember to check each tax bill separately.
Investment properties do not qualify for the Homestead Exemption, so mixing them up could result in missed payments or late fees.If you have an escrow account and the balance is sufficient, your escrow company will typically handle the tax payment automatically.
Property owners who have elected a quarterly payment plan, have made their first payment on or before January 31, and qualify as 65+ or disabled, will not be charged penalties or interest.
