How Homestead Exemptions work in Texas and how to File with your local County
There is No State Property Taxes in Texas
Property Tax is done at the Local Level - The County collects them
Remember, no state income tax in Texas. So Property tax (although annoying) goes to pay for schools, roads, police, firemen, emergency response services, libraries, parks and other services provided by local government.
A Homestead Exemption saves you money on your property taxes in 2 Ways:
1. Partial Exemption on School taxing unit. The ISD tax where you live is the highest (by far) taxing unit.
2. Caps your Appraised value year over year to 10% This means that the County cannot tax you 10% more than last year even if the appraised value bumped up.
Checklist before you Apply:
You must own and occupy the home
You must not claim any other property as your homestead
Only individuals may receive homestead exemptions, not entities
Your Texas Driver’s License must match the property address
