Proposition 4 is a property tax relief package passed in 2023 that increased the state's homestead exemption from $40,000 to $100,000. This results in an additional $60,000 value reduction benefit. The homestead exemption is $110,000 for Texas homeowners 65 and older.
For persons age 65 or older or disabled, Tax Code Section 11.13(c) requires school districts to provide an additional $10,000 residence homestead exemption. Tax Code Section 11.13(d) allows any taxing unit to adopt a local option residence homestead exemption. This local option exemption cannot be less than $3,000.
Senior citizens in Travis County over 65 years old receive an additional $25,000 residence homestead exemption for their local school district taxes. Non-school district taxing units can also optionally offer a senior homestead exemption of no less than $3,000.
How do I apply for the senior exemption and freeze? You, or your spouse, will qualify for the senior exemption and freeze on the date you become age 65. To receive this benefit, you must complete a Homestead Exemption form and return it to the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) at the address on the form.
Instead, you have to get a 10-day payoff estimate from your current lender, which includes the amount you owe, as well as any interest that might accrue on the principal balance in the next 10 days.
