Travis County Tax Office

May 6, 2024

AUSTIN – Real estate investor Nate Paul is at the top of the Travis County top ten list of delinquent taxpayers for the third year in a row, owing more than $3 million in taxes on three properties listed under Met Center Portfolio LLC, two under 2101 W Ben White LP, and three under 11530 Menchaca Road LLC. Property owners on the list owe a combined $5.6 million in 2023 taxes and have failed to pay after repeated attempts by the tax assessor-collector to collect.

“I’ve sent letters and made phone calls hoping to collect the payment in full or work out a payment plan for those struggling to pay, and the property owners on this list are avoiding me,” Tax Assessor-Collector Bruce Elfant said. “Why take the risk of losing your property because of unpaid taxes?”

These property owners received their tax bills in November 2023 and missed the Jan. 31, 2024, deadline. Unpaid accounts are eventually forwarded to the county attorney’s office, resulting in a foreclosure lawsuit. Foreclosed properties are sold at a public auction on the first Tuesday of the month. Beginning in June 2024, auctions will be held online.

The county and the 153 government entities it collects taxes for pays for emergency services, public schools, courts, law enforcement, parks, road maintenance and other city and county operations. When projected property tax revenue falls short, programs can be cut, or property taxes raised to make up the difference.

The tax office has collected more than 98% of the 2023 property taxes owed but needs to collect more than $102 million in outstanding 2023 debt from property owners.
