Persons with a residence homestead are entitled to a 20% exemption of the market valuation of their home.
To apply for an exemption, call the Bexar Appraisal District at 210-224-2432. You may also contact their agency directly by email or visit their website to obtain the necessary forms. The exemption will be forwarded to the tax office as soon as the Appraisal District updates their records.
The Over-65 exemption is for property owners who claim their residence as their homestead - this exemption is a maximum of $85,000 of taxable valuation. A disabled person may qualify for a $85,000 disabled residence homestead exemption.
The exemptions apply only to property that you own and occupy as your principal place of residence.
