If you are submitting a plat between the period between October 1 and January 31, please read the information below and plan accordingly to avoid any potential delays in recording your approved plat.

• If the taxes for the next year have already been calculated, those new taxes must be paid in full and presented with a Tax Certificate showing a raised seal (not a receipt) showing a zero balance, prior to your plat being recorded with the Clerk's Office. (Section 12.002 of the Texas Property Code). 

• Regardless of the time, before plats are recorded, the taxes must show a zero balance with a Tax Certificate as described above.
