About Property Taxes in Texas
In Texas, property taxes are assessed and collected at the county level — there is no state property tax. Each county has an appraisal district (CAD) that determines the taxable value of all property within the county as of January 1 each year. The county tax assessor-collector then sends tax bills, typically in October or November, covering taxes levied by all local taxing units: the county, cities, school districts, and special purpose districts. Tax bills are due by January 31 of the following year. For example, your 2024 property taxes are due January 31, 2025. Because Texas relies heavily on property taxes to fund local services — especially public schools — effective tax rates typically range from 1.5% to 3.0% of assessed value depending on the county and local taxing units.
Payment & Assessment
Texas property taxes are due in full by January 31. There is no grace period — taxes become delinquent on February 1, at which point penalties and interest begin accruing immediately. For homeowners who are 65 or older or have a qualifying disability, state law allows payment in four quarterly installments without penalty, with payments due January 31, March 31, May 31, and July 31. Most counties offer online payment through the county tax assessor-collector's website. Some counties charge a convenience fee for credit card payments — check your county's website for details. If your property is escrowed through your mortgage, your lender pays property taxes on your behalf. Verify that payment has been made, as you remain legally responsible even if the lender fails to pay.

About Hidalgo County
Hidalgo County is located in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2025 census estimate, its population was 921,549, making it the ninth-most populous county in Texas, and the most populous county outside of the counties in the Texas Triangle. However, based on housing permits and service usage, county officials believe the true population is around 1.2 million, if "a full and accurate census count is completed." The county seat is Edinburg and the largest city is McAllen. The county is named for Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the priest who raised the call for Mexico's independence from Spain. It is located in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas and is one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States. Hidalgo County is designated by the U.S. Census Bureau as the McAllen–Edinburg–Mission metropolitan statistical area, which itself is part of the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission-Rio Grande City, Texas combined statistical area with neighboring Starr County.
