Cameron County Tax Assessor-Collector Tony Yzaguirre Jr. is urging those individuals and business owners who have yet to pay their 2021 property taxes do so by the end of January to avoid having to pay penalties.
Yzaguirre said all 2021 property taxes become delinquent on Tuesday, Feb. 1. Over $88 million in property taxes have yet to be paid, which equals to 60,697 accounts.
Approximately 81% in property taxes in the county have been paid.
Beginning Tuesday, all tax accounts that have not been paid in full or do not have a special quarterly payment code will accrue a 7% fee for penalties and interest.
Yzaguirre said property owners who have not received their tax statements, should contact one of the Tax Assessor-Collectors Offices in the county immediately.
Taxpayers can pay their taxes online at www.cameroncountytax.org or at any of the eight tax office branches in the county.
Drop off boxes are available at the following Cameron County Tax Office locations:
>>East Levee between East 8th and East 9th streets in Brownsville;
>>505 Highway 100 in Port Isabel;
>>745 W. Ocean Blvd. in Los Fresnos;
>>3302 Wilson Rd. in Harlingen;
>>199 Sam Houston in San Benito.
Drive-thru locations are also available in Brownsville, Harlingen, Los Fresnos, Port Isabel and San Benito.
“It is very important to pay all property taxes this year, because our office will continue with our aggressive collections program this year,” Yzaguirre said.
