GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Military personnel serving on active military duty during a war or national emergency may pay delinquent property taxes on
property in which the person owns an interest without paying additional penalty or accrued interest. Pursuant to Tax Code Section 31.02, delinquent taxes
become due 60 days after the date on which the earliest of the following occurs:
• Discharge from active military service;
• Return to the state for more than 10 days;
• Return to non-active duty status in the reserves; or
• When the war or national emergency ends.
For the purposes of Tax Code Section 31.02, a person is considered to be on active military duty if the person is covered by the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil
Relief Act of 1940 (50 App. U.S.C. Section 501 et seq.) or the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (38 U.S.C. Section
4301 et seq.), as amended.
Upon approval of the waiver request, the applicant will have 60 days to pay the property taxes on the property for which the waiver was granted. Failure to
pay within the 60-day period results in the accrual of penalty and interest for the entire delinquency.
