Tax
City of Donna – Tax Office
Last day to pay current year property taxes without penalty and interest is February 1, 2021.
One of the primary responsibilities of the City of Donna Tax Assessor – Collector’s office is to levy, collect and disburse property taxes. Property taxes also are known as ad valorem taxes because the taxes are levied on the value of the property. The Tax Office accepts property tax payments online, by mail or in person. Partial Payment is accepted and will reduce any penalty and interest owed. Current taxes that remain unpaid on February 1 of the following year become delinquent and are assessed penalty and interest. Taxes that remain delinquent on business personal property may incur an additional collection fee of 15%-20% after April 1st. Delinquent taxes on real property incur the additional collection fee on July 1st.
Mission Statement
