NORCROSS, Ga., Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Official
Payments, a leading provider of electronic payment solutions, wants
Texas property owners to be aware
that the due date for paying property taxes is Thursday, January 31, 2013. Anyone who misses
this deadline may be charged penalties and interest fees that will
continue to accrue until the tax is paid.
"Since the Lone Star State has no state income tax, property
taxes are the largest sources of funding for local services.
Therefore, authorities want to ensure taxes are paid on time," said
Alex P. Hart, President and CEO of
Official Payments. "Official Payments makes paying property taxes
fast, easy and secure, and payments are credited on the day they
are made, so customers can pay right up to the deadline if
needed."
Property owners can begin the payment process by going online at
www.OfficialPayments.com and selecting the "Local Payments" button.
Texans can use a debit or credit card to pay their taxes online at
www.OfficialPayments.com anytime between now and January 31.
