Search the tax account
Use the official Bexar County tax portal to locate the account before making a payment. Verify the property and account information carefully.
Open official Bexar tax searchCheck your tax statement
The Tax Office provides property-tax statement access and also offers an eStatement option for taxpayers who want certified statements delivered by email.
View official eStatement instructionsBefore paying, verify the account
Match the property, account number, tax year and amount shown by the official system. If your mortgage company normally pays through escrow, confirm the payment responsibility before making a second payment yourself.
What if you cannot find the account?
First check the identifying information you entered. If you have the 12-digit account number, use it rather than relying only on a name search. If a tax statement is missing, Bexar County says you can contact the Information Center at 210-335-2251 or check the account status online.

Bexar County property tax due dates
Bexar County states that property taxes are due in October and must be paid by January 31. Taxes become delinquent on February 1 and are then subject to penalty and interest.
October
Property-tax statements begin entering the annual collection cycle. Review your account and choose the payment option that applies to you.
January 31
Normal deadline for paying the annual property-tax bill without penalty and interest. Mailed payments are generally judged by the applicable postmark rules.
February 1
Unpaid taxes become delinquent and are subject to penalty and interest under the applicable Texas property-tax rules.
No regular early-payment discount
Do not publish an outdated “early payment discount” schedule for Bexar County. The official county FAQ states that property-tax payment discounts were discontinued.
Certain payment plans have different deadlines. If you are enrolled in a half-payment, four-payment or other authorized plan, follow the dates on the official instructions and your tax statement rather than assuming January 31 applies to every installment.
Bexar County property tax payment plans
Bexar County provides several ways to spread property-tax payments. Eligibility, deadlines and consequences of a missed installment depend on the specific plan.
Half-Payment Plan
Eligible taxpayers can pay the current-year base tax in two equal installments. The official FAQ lists the first payment by November 30 and the remaining amount by June 30 of the following year when the plan requirements are met.
Four-Payment Plan
The four-payment option is available for qualifying residential homesteads associated with certain over-65 or disabled taxpayers. Payments are scheduled through January, March, May and July.
10-Month Payment Plan
The Tax Assessor-Collector describes a 10-month plan for qualifying residential homesteads with specified exemptions, including disabled, age 65 or over and certain disabled-veteran situations.
Pre-Payment Plan
Bexar County also offers a prepayment or escrow arrangement for future property taxes. The amount is based on an estimate and is later applied toward the tax bill when the annual bill is prepared.
Past-due taxes are different
If you already have delinquent taxes, do not assume a current-year payment plan will solve the balance. Bexar County advises taxpayers with past-due taxes to contact the Tax Office about an installment payment arrangement.
Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector offices, addresses and hours
The current official locations page lists five Tax Office locations. Standard public hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–4:45 PM, with Wednesday hours extending to 6:30 PM. The county states that appointments are not necessary and walk-ins are welcome.

Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector vs Bexar Appraisal District
A common source of confusion is assuming the Tax Assessor-Collector determines a property’s value. Bexar County specifically states that the Tax Office does not set or raise property values or tax rates. The Bexar Appraisal District is a separate organization responsible for appraisal-related functions.

What if you did not receive your Bexar County tax statement?
Not receiving a tax statement does not remove the tax obligation. Bexar County states that failure to receive a statement does not affect the validity of the tax, penalty, interest, due date or tax lien.

Vehicle registration transactions are handled through the Tax Office and related county systems.
