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.
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.
If you are 65 or older your residence homestead will qualify for more exemptions. You will qualify for a $10,000 exemption for the school taxes on your home's value. This is in addition to the $25,000 exemption for all homeowners.
