  • WHY DOES MY OIL PROPERTY TAX BILL SAY I OWE $0?

    If your bill says you owe $0 then you dont need to contact anyone or pay anything. Remember, oil is assessed two years behind. For example, 2023 production will be payable in 2025.  If the oil well does not have enough production to generate a tax bill then the bill will be $0.

  • WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T PAY MY TAXES ON TIME?

    If you don’t pay your taxes on time, your property will go to TAX SALE and you could be subject to additional penalties, costs, and interest.  After so many years of non-payment you could potentially lose your property.
