Taxpayers who wish to enter into a payment
agreement may complete the Online Payment Agreement application (OPA). The payment agreement is an
installment plan for the payment of tax, penalties, interest, and, if applicable, court cost, fees and
attorney fees. As provided by subsections (a) and (c) of Section 33.01 of the Texas Property Tax Code,
penalties and interest accrue on the unpaid balance during the period of the installment agreement.

By law, a property owner’s execution of an installment agreement is an irrevocable
admission of liability for all taxes, penalties and interest due.
You may qualify for online approval of a payment agreement if you:
pay in full within 12 months on real estate properties;
pay in full within 6 months on business personal properties
remain in good standing on any other accounts showing current or delinquent
taxes due.

You may submit a down payment but it is not required.
You may pay online at the time of application, send a payment by mail
or visit a tax office location.
Please read this if you have a mortgage on this property:
this property tax account will be considered delinquent if not paid in full by January 31.
timely payment of your property tax may be a requirement of your
mortgage loan.
full payment made by your mortgage company will void this contract.
This agreement is subject to further review and approval by a Travis County
Tax Office representative.
Payments may be made online, in person or by mail. Online payment by credit

In the event that a property owner does not adhere to the payment agreement,
a suit may be filed, and property may be seized and sold. In specific terms, these actions may be
taken if the property owner:
fails to make a payment as required by the agreement;
fails to pay other property taxes when due as required by the collector;
fails to meet any other condition of the agreement.
If other taxing units (that have claims for delinquent taxes against the same
properties) file suit to foreclose their tax lien, the Travis County Tax Office is obligated to join that suit.
Payments will be applied to delinquent accounts as determined by the Travis County Tax Office.
