Brazoria County Offers Several Property Tax Payment Options

A Brazoria County tax bill does not have to land in one lump. The split, or half-pay, option lets an owner pay half by November 30 and the rest by June 30 without penalty or interest between the two payments. Mark the coupon as split payment to use it.

Two narrower tools sit below that. Homesteads with over-65, disabled, or disabled-veteran exemptions can use four equal installments. An owner who is 65 or older or disabled can file a deferral affidavit to pause payment. A deferral is not forgiveness; taxes and interest keep growing until the home sells or the owner no longer lives there.

The half-pay split is open to anyone. Installments and deferrals depend on the owner and exemptions already on the account.
