Electronic Delivery of Communication (Receive Tax Statements/Communication By E-mail):
INFORMATION: Tax Code Section 1.085(a-1) requires a tax official to deliver communications to a property owner or the property owner’s designated representative electronically if requested. The election remains in effect until rescinded, in writing, by the property owner or the designated representative.
The property owner shall notify the Tax Assessor of a change in the e-mail address before the first April 1 that occurs following the change. If notification is not received by the Tax Assessor before that date, until notification is received, any communications delivered electronically to the property owner or person designated by the owner are considered to be timely delivered.
