Dallas County Tax Office Almost Gave Me a Heart Attack Friday!
Share News:
I survived, but John Ames’ office … or maybe last month’s ice storm… is certainly responsible for the demise of my complexion. I received not just a tax delinquency statement but a pile of letters from lenders wanting to “help me out”:
“Your 2010 Texas property taxes were due on January 31, 2011. According to our records, you have unpaid taxes in Dallas County and have incurred 7% in fees from county taxing authorities.”
I paid our taxes on Jan. 31 and had paperwork to prove it. So I popped off an email and just off the phone with DCAD. Seems our account is paid in full. Because of the ice storm, some postings were late and the system generated an auto-collections letter.
Anyone else get an almost-heart attack over this?

The phone lines at the Appraisal District office were jammed yesterday so you were not alone.

I got them for all the properties I own – six in total. I too almost had a heart attack until I checked my bank to make sure my checks had cleared and then called the automated tax number which said I had a zero balance. How much money was wasted on those letters sending to property owners who like me who had paid their taxes in full on time???
