Starting December 24, 2025, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) changed how postmark dates are determined. This update could impact anyone mailing time-sensitive documents like tax payments, business personal property renditions, appraisal protest or legal filings.
New Rule: The postmark will now show the date your envelope is first processed by an automated USPS sorting machine and not simply received at your local post office. This could be later than the day you mailed it.
Example: You place your property tax payment in a blue collection box at 6 PM on January 31, 2026. USPS picks up the mail that night but doesn’t run the mail through an automated USPS sorting machine until sometime later. Under the new rule, the postmark could read February 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th. For the Appraisal District, that means your tax payment is late or your filed appraisal protest is late— even though you believe you mailed it on time.
