Hays County Tax Assessor-Collector Jenifer O’Kane reminds property owners that the 2020 property tax payment deadline is fast approaching. She said this year is different than most because the last day to pay property taxes without penalty and interest is typically Jan. 31.
“Per the Texas Property Tax Code, however, if the last day to pay taxes falls on a weekend, payment made the next business day is considered timely,” she said. “Therefore, payments made on Monday, Feb. 1, 2021, will be considered timely.”
O’Kane added that her office has a variety of payment options available to Hays County residents.
