What is Automatic Payment Deduction Consent Form – Bexar County, TX?
The Automatic Payment Deduction Consent Form is the Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector's Office form in which a property owner consents to an Automatic Payment Deduction Plan, set up through Global Payments, for one or more property tax accounts.
On the printed form the document is titled as an Automatic Payment Deduction Agreement between the Tax Assessor-Collector's Office and the named individual. The name you enter must match the owner's banking information. The form asks for the owner's address, the Property Tax Account #(s) the agreement applies to, the payment method of interest (checking account, savings account or credit card) and the type of payment plan requested: Delinquent Taxes, Half Payment Plan, Quarter Payment Plan or 10 Month Payment Plan.
The form never collects payment details. It tells you not to write any banking information on it, such as a credit card number, bank name or checking account number. A Tax Office Deputy requests that information during the taxpayer's office visit or phone call, and the deputy also fills in the requested amount to be withdrawn.
The form notes that automatic payments must be rescheduled annually. You can check a box to ask that a Tax Office employee call you each year to reschedule the deduction.
The form is issued by the Office of the Tax Assessor-Collector of Bexar County, Texas.
