Texas law provides a variety of property tax exemptions for qualifying property owners. Local taxing units offer partial and total exemptions from a qualifying property's appraised value. A partial exemption removes a percentage or a fixed dollar amount of a property's value from taxation.
This includes purchases from Texas or out-of-state sellers, or items taken out of inventory for use, items given away, and items purchased for an exempt use but actually used in a taxable manner. Taxable purchases do not include inventory items being held exclusively for resale.
Some customers are exempt from paying sales tax under Texas law. Examples include government agencies, some nonprofit organizations, and merchants purchasing goods for resale. Sellers are required to collect a valid exemption or resale certificate from buyers to validate each exempt transaction.
