What is the Homestead Exemption?
It’s a tax break for homeowners.
If you own and live in your home, you can reduce the taxable value of your property by up to $40,000 (and more if you're over 65 or disabled). That means you’re taxed on less, and your wallet thanks you!
Why Should You Apply?
Save Money: It lowers your annual property tax bill.
Protection: Shields you from steep tax increases by capping yearly appraisal growth at 10%.
Peace of Mind: Can also protect you from creditors in certain situations.
How to Apply (It’s Easier Than You Think):
Check Eligibility: You must own and occupy the home as your primary residence as of January 1.
Gather Your Docs: Proof of ownership (like a deed) and your Texas ID with the same address.
File for Free: Submit your application to your county appraisal district by April 30. (Bonus: It’s free!)
