As a senior citizen, you probably will end up paying property taxes for as long as you are a homeowner. However, depending on the state you live in and often once you hit your 60s (usually around the ages of 61 to 65), you may be eligible for a property tax exemption.
To qualify for the age 65 or older residence homestead exemption, the individual must be age 65 or older, have an ownership interest in the property and live in the home as his or her principal residence.
At the age of 65, seniors can apply for an exemption from Texas property taxes. If you are eligible for this exemption, instead of facing an annual property tax bill, your tax obligations will be frozen.
To postpone your tax payments, file a tax deferral affidavit with your appraisal district. The deferral applies to delinquent property taxes for all of the taxing units that tax your home. You should be aware that a tax deferral only postpones payments, it does not cancel them.
A protest form is included with the taxpayer's notice of appraised value. Should you choose to file in person or by mail, HCAD has protest forms and the form explains the protest process. HCAD has protest forms available at its office or online. However, it is not necessary to use an official form.
The Tax Code places a tax limitation or ceiling on school district taxes for a property owner who is receiving the age 65 or older or disabled residence homestead exemption. The tax ceiling continues for age 55 or older surviving spouses of individuals who die while qualified for the tax ceiling.
Owners who are age 65 or older, are disabled or are a disabled veteran qualify to receive additional exemptions.
These deferral programs allow you to postpone the repayment of your property taxes as long as you continue to reside in your home. The beauty of this system is that you aren't required to repay these deferred taxes until you either sell your home or are no longer the homeowner.
