PROPERTY TAX LENDERS

A property tax lender makes loans to property owners to pay delinquent or due property taxes. The lender receives a superior tax lien allowing it to foreclose on the property if the loan is not repaid on time.

A property tax lender is a person who engages in the business of making, transacting, or negotiating property tax loans; or contracts for, charges, or receives, directly or indirectly, in connection with a property tax loan subject to chapter 351 of the Finance Code, a charge, including interest, compensation, consideration, or another expense, authorized under this chapter.  

These lenders facilitate loans to property owners to pay off property taxes when the property owner can't pay. Property tax lenders will make loans against due or delinquent property taxes.
