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).
