Frequently Asked Questions
Alamo has hundreds of families and business owners just like you over the last two years by paying their property taxes and tailoring affordable payment plans.

While Texas law provides a limit on interest rates on credit cards, this only applies if the bank issuing the card is chartered in Texas and most credit card companies today are based in states that do not impose limits. Most cards charge higher interest rates for cash advances
and often an additional fee – or you will have to pay a “convenience fee” usually from 3 to 5% upfront if you simply charge your property taxes. While your current or promotional interest rate may be lower now, you are at the mercy of the credit card company who often without notice can raise your interest rate up to 29% and even as high as 33% in some cases.
Your loan with Alamo Home Finance is designed and tailored to meet your needs, and our interest rates are some of the lowest in the state and as a Texas based and licensed property tax lender your interest rates can never exceed the rates set in the Texas Civil Code.
We try to customize every loan to fit your needs, but in most cases to keep the monthly payments affordable, most of our loans spread payments over 60 months.

All closing costs associated with your loan are included in the total amount financed so there are no out of pocket closing costs.
