FAQ
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.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION Attach a copy of each property owner's driver's license or state-issued personal identification certificate. The address listed on the driver's license or state-issued personal identification certificate must correspond to the property address for which the exemption is requested.
The Tax Code places a tax limitation or ceiling on school district taxes for a property owner who is receiving the age 65 or older or disabled residence homestead exemption. The tax ceiling continues for age 55 or older surviving spouses of individuals who die while qualified for the tax ceiling.
In addition to the senior freeze tax, Texas also allows senior homeowners to defer their property taxes until their estates are settled after their death. To qualify for this program, the homeowner must be 65 years or older, have a limited income, and own and occupy the home as their primary residence.

You can use Texas Comptroller Form 50-114 to apply for the General Homestead Exemption. If you turn 65 or become newly disabled, you need to submit new application to obtain the extra exemption. These exemptions use the same Form 50-114 along with Supplemental Affidavit Form 50-144-A.
