Mortgage Company Property Taxpayers
The Harris County Tax Office mails out over 1,350,000 property tax bills at the beginning of
each property tax season. Along with the mass mail out of property tax bills, the Tax Office
also sends “information only” duplicate property tax statements to property owners whose
taxes are paid by a mortgage company.
This tax season some property taxpayers may have received a property tax bill that did not
indicate that the bill was a duplicate marked as a statement requested by a mortgage company.
As a result, in an effort to avoid double payments, the Tax Office online property tax
statements have been updated to reflect mortgage company information on each property tax
bill.

What to do once you've completed your check:
- If your property tax statement research indicates that a mortgage company has
requested your tax bill, please disregard the duplicate property tax statement sent
to you that was not marked as “information only”.
- If you have already paid your property tax bill and discover by researching your
online tax statement that your mortgage company also has paid your taxes, please call
the Tax Office at 713-368-2000 to begin the refund process for your double payment.
- If your online property tax statement indicates that your statement was requested
by a mortgage company and you believe this to be an error, please contact the Tax
Office at 713-368-2000.
All Harris County property taxes are due on Feburary 1, 2010.
