Montague County property owners have just over a week in which to pay their county, city, school and hospital district taxes before facing any penalty or interest charges.
The deadline to pay your taxes is Jan. 31 in order to avoid the 7% penalty and interest that begins on Feb. 1. That amount will increase each month until July 1 at which point attorney fees are added. Taxes were due when the customer received the tax statement around Oct. 1, 2022.
In Montague County there are two offices that collect taxes for a combination of entities. Officials with the county tax assessor’s office and Montague County Tax Appraisal District reported traffic is brisk as the deadline nears.
