  • If your taxes are to be paid by a mortgage company and you receive the statement, write your loan number on the tax notice and send it immediately to your mortgage company.
  • If you do not receive a tax statement before November 1st of each year, contact the Victoria County Tax Office and request a statement be mailed. However, failure to receive a tax notice does not affect the validity of the tax, penalty, interest, the due date, the existence of a tax lien, or any procedure instituted to collect a tax (sec 31.01(g) Texas Property Tax Code). It is the property owners responsibility to make sure that the correct name and address is listed for each property owned.
