MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TX -- Montgomery County Tax Office is providing a 4-month extension of all property tax payment agreements as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.


We know that many of our taxpayers may be facing financial challenges. “During this challenging time, it’s important for us to do all that we can to help each other. We providing an automatic 4-month extension on all existing payment agreements. Taxpayers will not be required to pay their March, April, May and June 2020 payments until the end of the contract. The agreements will not be defaulted; however, penalty and interest will continue to accrue as set forth in the Texas Property Tax Code. The Tax Office does not have the statutory authority to waive legislatively mandated penalty and interest. I hope this extension will help ease property owners’ burden during this difficult time,” said Tammy McRae, Tax Assessor-Collector.


Please be aware that the Montgomery County Tax Office has temporarily halted litigation and foreclosure proceedings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Property owners that owe delinquent taxes are encouraged to make partial payments or contact our tax office for payment options.


“The healthcare crisis and Stay-At-Home Orders have affected the way many of us conduct business. It has temporarily eliminated our face-to-face interactions; however, the Tax Office has continued to service our taxpayers by providing phone assistance and processing mail, drop-box and online transactions. I encourage customers to utilize our online or mail services until we are able to resume normal operations,” stated McRae.
