Ing to the Comptroller, there is no provision for the cessation of property taxes at any stage. However, there is a Texas property tax exemption for people over the age of 65, which offers temporary tax relief for seniors. At the age of 65, seniors can apply for an exemption from Texas property taxes.
Check the Status of Your Application We strive to process exemptions as quickly as possible, but at times processing could take up to 90 days to process, per Texas Property Tax Code Section 11.45. Please allow at least 90 days to lapse before contacting our office to check when your application will be processed.
Taxes are calculated by subtracting the value of any exemptions and, if applicable, the cap value from the homestead value of the property, and then adding any productivity or non-qualifying value. This result, the taxable value, is then multiplied by the tax rate per $100.
A property owner or the owner's authorized agent must file the necessary application before May 1 of the tax year. 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.
