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.
In 2023, the $100,000 Homestead Exemption was permanently codified into the Texas Constitution when voters passed Proposition 4 with 83% of voters in support. This makes the $100,000 Homestead Exemption permanent, and homeowners will receive tax relief every single year, forever.
You may qualify to file a Homestead Exemption online; the Residence Homestead Exemption Application link is available from the details page of your account on our website. You may search for your account by owner, by account or by address. Select the link “File Homestead Exemption Online”.
TIP #9 On form 50-114 (application for homestead, over 65, disabled person, 100% disabled veteran exemption and others), we need all owners and their information listed. If the owners are a married couple, we need the signature of just one of the owners and their Texas Driver's license or state issued ID.
Both owners must sign the application form and, if both owners otherwise qualify, the homestead exemption will be granted for the entire home. This process is as simple as any other married couple or single individual applying for the exemption.
What if I miss the filing deadline? A late application for a residence homestead exemption, including for a person age 65 or older or disabled, may be filed up to two years after the filing deadline has passed.
If the owners are married, can they claim two homestead exemptions? No. A married couple can claim only one homestead.
Per the Texas Comptroller, the completed application and required documentation are due no later than April 30 of the tax year for which you are applying. A late homestead exemption application, however, may be filed up to two years after the delinquency date, which is usually Feb. 1. 8.
