What is PrePayment Enrollment Form – Bexar County, TX?
The PrePayment Enrollment Form is the Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector's agreement for establishing a prepayment (escrow) account for the 2026 property taxes. By signing it, the property owner agrees to make monthly payments into that account, and the office applies the balance to the tax bill when it is prepared.
The form states the terms of the plan:
- Payments go to the Office of the Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector and are held in escrow for the 2026 property taxes on the account named on the form.
- You may pay the monthly amount written on the form or any amount you choose. The form prints a minimum monthly payment.
- The total shown is an estimate based on the taxes paid to all of the taxing units the office collects for.
- On October 1, or as soon as the tax bill is prepared, the total in the account is applied to the 2026 taxes. If it does not cover the whole bill, it is applied proportionately to each taxing unit, and you receive a statement for the remaining balance due in October.
- If the account holds more than the tax due, the excess is refunded.
- No interest is paid on the deposits, and the form says no fees are assessed for late, reduced or missed payments.
The form gives the account number, the owner's name and address, and the legal description of the property. It is an enrollment agreement, not a tax bill or a payment receipt.
Who needs to file PrePayment Enrollment Form – Bexar County, TX?
Property owners with an account at the Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector who want to pay their 2026 property taxes in advance, in monthly amounts, use this form to create a Pre-Payment Plan. The form asks for the account number, the owner's name and address, and the legal description of the property.
Points that affect who the plan suits:
- You choose the payment amount. The form accepts the monthly amount you write on it or any amount you designate, subject to the minimum monthly payment printed on the form.
- The plan holds deposits in escrow with no interest, so it works as a way to set money aside for the bill, not to earn a return.
- A withdrawal must be for the entire amount and closes the escrow account; withdrawals are not allowed after September 15.
The taxpayer signs the form and gives a printed name, phone number and email address. The Tax Office section, with a clerk's signature, is for the office to complete. The form does not describe signing on behalf of an owner, so ask the office at 210-335-2251 if someone else will act for the owner.
When to file PrePayment Enrollment Form – Bexar County, TX
Enroll before the date by which you want to start paying: the form says pre-payments for tax year 2026 may be made until September 15, 2026. It sets no earlier enrollment deadline.
After that, timing follows the agreement. On October 1, or as soon as the tax bill is prepared, the total in the account is applied to the 2026 taxes. If the deposits do not cover the full bill, you receive a statement for the remaining balance due in October. Withdrawals may not be made after September 15, and a withdrawal closes the account.
The form notes that once your Pre-Payment Plan is created, future payments can be made online.
