PLEASE NOTE WHEN PAYING TAXES THROUGH YOUR BANK’s BILL PAY:
Please setup a Payee that is specific to the CLCWA Tax Department.
If you select a payee previously used to pay your water bill any payments
will be electronically applied to your water utility account not your tax account.
Funds applied to your water utility account cannot be transferred to your tax
account. A separate Payee must be setup for each.
Night drop boxes are located to the right of our front door and in the parking lot for payments (please, no cash in night drop box). Payments will be date stamped with the previous business days date. If a payment is mailed, we suggest that proof of mailing be obtained from the post office. Any payments postmarked after the due date will incur penalties and interest.
Receipts:
Receipts will only be mailed upon request. Receipts and statements can be printed at our website using the link provided above "Pay Property Tax".
Receive Tax Statements By Email:
Texas Property Tax Code has been amended by HB843 to allow for the delivery of tax bills by electronic means, effective 1/01/2012. If a tax bill is sent by e-mail, the Law does not require the tax bill also to be sent by mail. The Law requires that an agreement be signed by the Assessor and the Individual or Entity entitled to receive the tax bill. The agreement remains in effect for all subsequent tax bills until revoked by an authorized individual in a written revocation filed with the Assessor.
If you wish to receive your tax bill by e-mail, please complete the agreement and return the original (no copies) executed agreement to Clear Lake City Water Authority, Attention: Tax Assessor, 900 Bay Area Blvd., Houston, TX 77058.
