Who is eligible for the Homestead Exemption program? Those eligible must be 65 years of age or older or be permanently or totally disabled, meet annual state set income requirements, and own the home where they live as of January 1st or the year in which they apply.
The exemptions apply only to property that you own and occupy as your principal place of residence. File this form and all supporting documentation with the appraisal district office in each county in which the property is located generally between Jan. 1 and April 30 of the year for which the exemption is requested.
Persons with a residence homestead are entitled to a 20% exemption of the market valuation of their home. 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.
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.
