What can I do if I need to catch up on my property tax loan and get my property taxes paid but I do not have the money?

Property tax forms will have a check box for spacing out the payments in two installments. If that does not work for you, go to the county courthouse or tax assessor office and ask to set up a payment plan. If you do not pay, they may put a property tax lien on the house.

You need to contact the taxing entity ( county, city, etc) and assure them you want to pay your bill. You do NOT want to have them think you are not cooperative and have them put a lien on your property. Suggest a monthly payment plan that fits your budget.

You can file for a hardship extension to the town you live in on the property taxes. They are not in the business of taking back property so should be more than willing to work with you on this issue. They are most interested in getting income from the taxes themselves.

Communicate with the tax office. See if you can make payment arrangements for the most delinquent taxes first. Sell something, work overtime, do SOMETHING to get the most delinquent taxes paid, or you could lose your property at public auction.

You will need to contact the city tax assessor and try to make a deal to get your taxes paid.
