Fort Worth, Texas – With the deadline quickly approaching, Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector Rick Barnes is reminding residents behind on their homestead property taxes to contact the tax office immediately to explore available assistance options. The final day to apply for a payment plan is June 30, 2025, and eligible property owners could avoid costly legal action by taking timely action.
Helping Families Stay on Track
“We know that many families are struggling right now,” said Rick Barnes. “If you need more time to pay your property taxes, don’t wait – reach out to our office. You may be eligible for an installment agreement. Contact us now to discuss your options and help get you back on track.”
The Tarrant County Tax Office offers installment payment plans for qualifying homeowners, allowing them to spread out their payments instead of paying the full balance upfront. These plans are especially valuable for residents dealing with financial difficulties, as they can help reduce the risk of legal consequences tied to delinquent property taxes.
Installment Payment Plan Details
The payment plans are structured in accordance with Texas state law and allow taxpayers to make manageable payments toward their owed property tax balance. Applying for one of these plans could protect homeowners from further legal action, penalties, or other added costs that may result from continued delinquency.
To qualify, homeowners must act before the June 30 deadline. After this date, the opportunity to enter into an installment agreement will no longer be available, and unpaid taxes could lead to legal collections or property liens.
How to Apply
Tarrant County residents who are unsure of their eligibility or who need help applying are encouraged to contact the Tax Office directly. Staff members are available to guide homeowners through the application process and answer any questions about the program…
