Texas Governor Signs Law Modifying Split Payment Option for Ad Valorem Taxes

The Texas Governor signed a law modifying the split-payment option for ad valorem taxes. If a taxpayer’s tax bill is mailed after November 30, the first half of taxes is due the first day of the next month after the tax bills are mailed. The law also clarifies that late tax payments do not forfeit appeal rights and that discounts do not apply to late tax calculations. The law takes effect Jan. 1, 2026. [H.B. 2742, enacted 05/29/25]
