Clay County, Texas property-tax payment and appeal deadlines

Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The reviewed record below separates published figures from items that still require confirmation with Clay County Appraisal District.

Rate context

Confirm

official sources publish rates by taxing unit and property location, not one countywide effective rate.

Statement mailing

Published

October 1, 2026, or as soon thereafter as practicable under Texas Tax Code §31.01(a); official local 2026 sources reviewed do not publish a more specific tax-bill mailing date.

Payment deadline

Published

2026 property taxes are due upon receipt; under Texas Tax Code §31.02 they are not delinquent if paid on or before January 31, 2027; if the bill is mailed after January 10, 2027, the delinquency date is postponed under §31.04.

Valuation protest

Published

June 4, 2026 for the 2026 real-property protest; the Clay CAD notice also states June 15, 2026 for minerals or business personal property, with statutory exceptions for notice and other protest types.

Do not assume a grace period.

The reviewed record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.

Treat a published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.

From assessment to collection

01Valuation and notice

Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.

02Statement and account review

Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.

03Payment confirmation

Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
