Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Section 33.01 of the Tax Code, related to delinquent property tax penalties and interest, to change the penalty on delinquent property taxes from six percent to four percent and to change the maximum penalty from twelve percent to ten percent. (As provided in current law, the penalty increases by one percent per each month that the tax remains delinquent up to the maximum.) The bill would take effect on January 1, 2014.
Methodology
The bill's reduction of the rate used to calculate a delinquent property tax penalty from six percent to four percent and reduction of the maximum penalty from twelve percent to ten percent would create a cost to local taxing units. The estimate was based on historical information from appraisal districts. There would be no cost to the state because delinquent property tax penalties are not included in the school finance formula.
Local Government Impact
The fiscal implication to units of local government is reflected in the tables above.
