How Mark Explains Property Taxes

If you own property in The Colony Texas, you are required to pay property taxes every year by January 31st. The Denton County Tax Office mails you a bill. Pay on time as stiff increasing monthly penalties occur.

Depending upon your Home Loan / Mortgage, you may have the Lender Escrow an amount added to you loan payments to Pay the Property Tax for you HOWEVER it is Your Responsibility to make sure they Pay Your Taxes. If you "Self Escrow" instead, consider opening a Savings Account where you auto deposit money to pay your Property Taxes so you will have it when they are due.
