What is Mortgage Correction Form – Hidalgo County?
The Mortgage Correction Form is a one-page Hidalgo County Tax Office form, printed with the title "Add/Delete Mortgage Code Correction Form," that requests a change to the mortgage code recorded for a property account: either adding a code or deleting one.
The form identifies the change and the property in a fixed order. At the top you enter the date, the mortgage code and the name of the mortgage lender, then check ADD or DELETE. The next lines identify the property: the HCAD NUMBER, the ACCOUNT NUMBER and the LEGAL DESCRIPTION. The last block gives the contact details for the person making the request: NAME, C/O, ADDRESS and PHONE. It ends with a SIGNATURE line and date, followed by a CLERK line with its own date.
The Hidalgo County Tax Office lists this form on its Forms page next to other documents, including the Appraisal District Correction Form, the Application for Residence Homestead Exemption and Form 50-307, the Request for Written Statement About Delinquent Taxes for Tax Foreclosure Sale. Each of those is a separate document. This form deals only with adding or deleting a mortgage code, so use the Appraisal District Correction Form when your correction concerns something else on the appraisal district side.
The form prints no form number and no revision date.
Who needs to file Mortgage Correction Form – Hidalgo County?
The form is for anyone who needs the Hidalgo County Tax Office to add a mortgage code to a property account or delete one. It asks for the mortgage lender and the mortgage code, so the person completing it should have the lender's details and the property's HCAD number and account number at hand.
The form has a single signature line, headed SIGNATURE, with a date, and a separate contact block for a name, a C/O (care of) line, an address and a phone number. The form does not say who may or must sign, whether a lender, owner or representative can act, or whether anyone is excluded. Ask the Tax Office if you are unsure whether you are the right person to submit it.
Do not use this form for other corrections. The Tax Office lists a separate Appraisal District Correction Form on its Forms page.
When to file Mortgage Correction Form – Hidalgo County
Use the form when the mortgage code on a property account has to be added or deleted: check ADD to put a code on the account or DELETE to remove one. The form prints no due date, filing window or renewal period, and it is not tied to another application, so the timing follows the change you need. Write the date you complete it on the DATE line at the top, and date the signature line as well.

How to submit Mortgage Correction Form – Hidalgo County
The form prints no mailing address, fax number, email address or online portal, so the channel is set by the Hidalgo County Tax Office rather than by the form.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving both the ADD and DELETE boxes unchecked, so the Tax Office cannot tell whether the mortgage code is being added or removed.
- Mixing up the HCAD NUMBER and the ACCOUNT NUMBER; the form has a separate line for each and asks for both.
- Leaving out the mortgage code or the name of the mortgage lender at the top of the form.
- Skipping the LEGAL DESCRIPTION line, which is part of how the form identifies the property.
- Sending the form without a signature or without the date beside it.
- Using this form for an appraisal correction; the Tax Office lists a separate Appraisal District Correction Form on its Forms page.
- Leaving out the phone number or address in the contact block, which is the only way the form gives for reaching the person who submitted it.
