An individual who owns a home in Texas who is over 65 may elect to defer paying property taxes until the home is sold by the individual or the taxes are paid by the estate.
Interest is accrued on the deferred taxes.

Where did you get that?

ETA: Never mind, I found it in a Real Estate Practices book by googling the exact wording of your query. I'd like to see the actual statute, but in that book (can't see if it's the current edition or not), it states that the interest rate is 8%.

Interesting! We often see an empty home for sale that has 20 years back taxes due and know that the owner lived there til they died and wondered 'How were they able to live there and not pay taxes?' Now we know!!

It does state in the book that if you are delinquent in your taxes that you can apply for the deferment. That's why I'd like to see the actual statute, to see what it really says.
