Texas Property Tax Assessor/Collector license lookup — free

A Property Tax Assessor/Collector — TDLR's 'RTA' designation — is held by county tax office staff responsible for billing and collecting property taxes, distinct from the appraisal-district staff who determine the value being taxed in the first place. It runs under the same TDLR program and page as the Property Tax Appraiser credential, sharing much of its structure. Counties rely on this license to confirm their tax office staff are properly credentialed for a role that directly touches residents' tax bills. A related but lower designation, Registered Texas Collector (RTC), covers a narrower scope of collection work under a lighter continuing-education load.

As with the Property Tax Appraiser credential on the same program page, the initial registration runs one year, and TDLR's continuing-education rules are framed on a 24-month basis afterward — pointing toward a two-year cycle from then on, though the program's own pages don't state that ongoing cycle length as explicitly as the sibling Property Tax Consultant program does, so confirm the exact term on TDLR's FAQ. The RTA continuing-education load is 30 hours every 24 months, covering 2 hours of ethics and a state law and rules update — no USPAP requirement, since that's appraiser-specific — while the related RTC designation needs only 10 hours per cycle. Renewing late follows the same confirmed fee math as the Appraiser credential, roughly $45-55 up front, $67.50-82.50 within 90 days late, and $90-110 from 90 days out to three years, with TDLR's usual 18-month Executive Director approval step likely applying on that same schedule even though the property tax program's page doesn't spell it out separately.
