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.
Owners who are age 65 or older, are disabled or are a disabled veteran qualify to receive additional exemptions.
A 20% optional homestead exemption is given to all homeowners in Harris County. If the value of your home is $100,000, applying the exemption will decrease its taxable value for Harris County taxes from $100,000 to $80,000.
