Exemptions and installment plans
Some taxpayers may qualify for an exemption or a payment plan. Randall County directs exemption questions to the Exemptions page and the Potter-Randall Appraisal District.
- Taxpayers over 65, disabled, or a veteran may pay current taxes on a qualified homestead in installments.
- The first installment is due by January 31 without penalty and interest.
- If the first installment is paid by February 28, 7% penalty and interest apply.
- The remaining installment due dates are March 31, May 31, and July 31.
A pay agreement for unpaid property taxes on a homestead property can begin in February and allows monthly payments. Other payment arrangements are also available through the Tax Office.
Many total exemption applications are due by April 30. Homestead and disabled veteran exemptions may be filed up to one year after the taxes for the application year became delinquent, and over-65 or disabled exemptions may be filed as soon as the taxpayer becomes eligible or becomes the owner of the residence.
For exemption qualifications, call Potter-Randall Appraisal District at (806) 358-1601.
