When are my property taxes due?

Taxes are due and payable on October 1, and are delinquent if not paid on or before January 31. State law requires that penalty and interest be charged on taxes paid after January 31. If you have any questions, email propertytax@dallascounty.org, or call our Customer Care Center at 214-653-7811.


What is the deadline for filing an appraisal protest?

No later than May 15th. Contact your local Appraisal District.


Do you consider the mail postmark as the payment date?

Yes, we use the Post Office’s postmark, not a meter date, to comply with Tax Code Section 1.08.


Why did I get a delinquent notice when I paid my taxes?

Email us at propertytax@dallascounty.org. Please include your name, property address and copies of your cancelled payment check and delinquent notice, and we will research it for you. You can also call our Customer Care Center at 214-653-7811.
