This is the form to fill out if you want a General Residence Homestead Exemption, Person Age 65 or Older Exemption, Disabled Person Exemption, 100 Percent Disabled Veteran Exemption, and the surviving spouse version of these exemptions.
Texas offers several types of Homestead Exemptions: Standard Homestead Exemption: Provides a $100,000 reduction in the appraised value for school district taxes. For example, a home appraised at $300,000 would have its taxable value reduced to $200,000, saving homeowners hundreds of dollars annually.
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.
To apply for this exemption, taxpayers must submit a completed application along with a driver's license or state-issued personal ID certificate that has the same address as the property they are applying for the exemption on.
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.
