While property tax lending has proliferated in Texas during the most recent economic downturn, it is actually nothing new. The industry was legitimized with the passing of the Property Tax Lender License Act (SB 1520) which took effect September 1, 2007, and established a licensing procedure and regulatory framework for property tax lenders.
