Texas Property Tax Code Sec 23.23 limits increases of the total assessed value (assessed value = market value minus any exemption value minus current year cap value), to 10% from year to year if the property is under homestead exemption. This 10% increase excludes any new improvements added by the property owner.
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.
