First, in order to work, Cortana has to, in effect, make a call to the Sync system so the normal, almost instantaneous response from Cortana, there is a delay of several seconds before Cortana is actually listening to me. And the other issues are the Sync mic is awful, muffled and very low volume.
Property tax deadline - and that late fee - loom. For many Tarrant County taxpayers, Jan. 31 can be even worse than April 15, when Uncle Sam gets his share. Property tax payments are due Monday to the Tarrant County tax assessor-collector and, unlike with the IRS, there won't be any refunds. Payments are due at the county tax office or must be postmarked on or before Jan. 31. And whatever you do, don't be late.
The governing body of each taxing unit, the Commissioners Court for the County, sets the tax rate. The certified appraisal roll and the tax rates are used to levy the current property taxes in October/November of each year. Tax statements are then printed and mailed to property owners and mortgage companies. Most tax payments are mailed to a lockbox at the County depository. There the payment documents are scanned, and the checks are deposited and recorded.
