Process step-by-step
-
1
Login to your bank’s website
Login to your bank’s bill pay service. Before using your bank’s online bill pay service, please check the Terms of Service. Many banks discourage or restrict using their bill pay systems for government tax payments and will not be responsible for any errors, delays, or lost payments that may result in late penalties.

2
Include identifying information
Include your property tax account number or billing number with the payment. This allows the Tax Office to apply the payment to the correct account.

Payee Information
Provide your bank with the Travis County payee information:
Payee Name: Travis County Tax Office

Scheduling
Schedule the payment and allow enough time for Travis County to receive the funds by the January 31 deadline. The date your payment is created by the bank, or the funds are removed from your account, cannot be used as the payment date. If the bank sends a check instead of an electronic payment, the envelope needs a qualifying postmark no later than January 31 to avoid penalty and interest.
