EDINBURG – The Texas Homeowner Assistance Fund Program was launched as a pilot program in Hidalgo County on January 10, 2022, with a goal to assist homeowners with payment on delinquent property taxes.
“As of today, the Hidalgo County Tax Office has received over $1 million from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for payment towards delinquent property taxes,” said Hidalgo County Tax Assessor-Collector Pablo “Paul” Villarreal Jr.
Delinquent property tax relief is available to qualifying homeowners who experienced financial hardships because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Villarreal encourages Hidalgo County Homeowners who are delinquent on their primary homestead residence to apply for assistance on their property taxes.
The Program was recently launched statewide and applicable to neighboring counties as well.
