Ways to pay less
- Seniors 65+ or disabled: extra school exemption. School districts must give owners 65 or older or disabled an additional $60,000 homestead exemption on top of the $140,000 general one. How: File the residence homestead exemption application (Form 50-114) with the appraisal district.
- Disabled veterans rated 100%. A disabled veteran awarded 100 percent disability compensation for a service-connected disability, and rated 100 percent disabled or individually unemployable, gets a total property tax exemption on the homestead. How: The application is Form 50-114. Exemption applications are filed with the appraisal district in your county.
- Homestead cap: appraised value rises at most 10% a year. Once you have qualified your home for homestead exemptions in the prior and current year, its appraised value may not increase more than 10 percent per year (plus new improvements). How: Review your exemption status online at your appraisal district.
