Search and pay property tax online
Start with the county’s online property tax search. You can look up an account by account number, owner name, owner mailing address, or property location, then move into payment from the account record.
- Account number, if you have it
- Owner name entered with the last name first
- Owner mailing address
- Property location entered as street number and street name
When you are ready, use the Brazoria County tax search and review the matching account before paying.
- Enter the account number without dashes, or search by owner name, owner address, or property location.
- For an owner name search, enter the last name first, then a space and the first name or first letter.
- For a property location search, enter the street number and street name only.
- Do not include the street type or direction for a property location search, such as Ave., Ln., or Dr.
- Set the account and pay status filters to view active or inactive accounts and paid, unpaid, or both.
Important: If you do not know the account number, the county suggests searching by owner name, mailing address, or property location.
Payment options and due dates
You can compare county payment choices on the property tax payment options page. Taxes are due upon receipt, and penalties and interest begin on February 1. If you mail a payment near the end of January, make sure the envelope is postmarked no later than January 31.
| Option | Key deadline | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Full payment | Postmark by January 31 | Taxes are due upon receipt. Penalties and interest begin on February 1. |
| Split payment / half pay | First half by November 30; second half by June 30 | No penalty and interest accrue if both halves are paid on time. The county says this can be used for property with or without a homestead exemption. |
| Over 65, Disabled, or Disabled Veteran installment plan | January 31, March 31, May 31, and July 31 | Available for qualified homestead properties with an Over 65, Disabled, or Disabled Veteran exemption, or for unmarried surviving spouses who qualify. |
| Declared disaster installment plan | January 31, March 31, May 31, and July 31 | Available to homeowners, certain residential property owners, and small businesses with damaged property in a declared disaster or emergency area. |
| Partial payments | Any amount accepted | The payment is applied to the balance due, and only the remaining amount accrues penalty and interest. |
| Deferral | Affidavit filed at the appraisal district | Homeowners who are 65 or older or disabled may defer current and delinquent homestead taxes. Taxes are deferred, not cancelled, and continue to add 5 percent interest per year. |
Payment methods and tax estimator
