NORCROSS, Ga., Jan. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Official
Payments Corp., wants Texas property owners to be aware that
the due date for paying property taxes is Tuesday, January
31, 2012. Anyone who misses this deadline will be charged
penalty and interest fees that will continue to accrue until
the tax is paid.
"The Lone Star State is fairly aggressive when it comes
to collecting its due," said Alex P. Hart, President and
CEO of Official Payments. "The penalty fees alone can
add up to as much as 12 percent, depending on how long the
tax remains unpaid. Interest gets charged at the rate of one
percent per month, with no maximum. We want Texans to know
that they can use a debit or credit card to pay their
property taxes online at www.OfficialPayments.comanytime between now and January 31, and their
taxes will be officially paid in time to meet the
deadline."
Taxpayers who register for My Account can take advantage of a
faster and easier way to pay with E-Wallet. This new feature
enables users to securely store debit card, credit card or
bank account information. Stored payment information will be
conveniently prefilled the next time a registered user logs
in and completes a transaction.
