Tax bills & filing dates
These are the dates and qualifications recorded in the directory. Confirm your tax year and current deadline with the official office and your property’s notice.
- Tax bill mailing
- October 1, 2026 or as soon thereafter as practicable under Texas Tax Code §31.01(a); the official local sources reviewed did not publish a more specific 2026 mailing date.
- Payment deadline
- 2026 Texas property taxes are due upon receipt; the statutory January 31, 2027 deadline is adjusted to Monday, February 1, 2027 because January 31 falls on Sunday under Texas Tax Code §1.06.
- Assessment appeal
- May 15, 2026; Polk CAD's 2026 Appraisal Notices page states this protest deadline, and the 30-day notice rule and statutory exceptions control.
