Every Texas property tax exemption you qualify for, pre-filled and ready to file
Texas offers eight property-tax exemptions, each worth $3,000–$25,000 in appraised value reduction. Most homeowners qualify for at least the homestead exemption (~$100,000 reduction starting in 2024). We check your eligibility for all eight and generate pre-filled, ready-to-file PDFs for every one you qualify for.
$19 (or free as a lead-gen) Coming soonWho should file an exemption application?
Every Texas homeowner who hasn't filed homestead. After homestead, eligibility-by-circumstance: anyone over 65, anyone disabled, veterans rated 10%+ for service-connected disability, surviving spouses of qualifying veterans, owners of solar/wind installations, owners of historic structures, and owners using land for agricultural purposes.
How much do exemptions actually save?
Homestead alone reduces appraised value by ~$100,000 (set by HB 3 in 2024) — at the average Texas effective tax rate of 1.7%, that's $1,700/year forever. Stack over-65 (+$10,000 + tax-rate freeze on the school portion) and you save another ~$170/year plus shielding against future rate hikes. Disabled veteran (10–100% rated) ranges from $5,000 to 100% exemption — a 100%-rated veteran pays zero property tax on their homesteaded residence.

Frequently asked questions
Isn't the homestead exemption free to file myself?
Yes — every Texas county appraisal district accepts homestead applications free of charge via mail, online portal, or in person. You should ALWAYS file homestead even if you don't use this service. What we offer is a fast path: ten minutes vs an hour of figuring out which form (50-114 vs 50-114-A), what supporting documents (driver's license matching the property address) and which exemptions you qualify for besides homestead.
What's the deadline?
Most exemptions: file by April 30 of the tax year for which you want the exemption. Homestead: you have until April 30 of the year AFTER you occupy the home. Over-65: file in the year you turn 65 (the appraisal district pro-rates if you turn 65 mid-year). Disabled veteran: file any time after the VA disability rating is issued.
Can you file these for me?
No. Per Texas Tax Code Chapter 1152, exemption filings are owner-driven. We generate the ready-to-file PDF; you sign and submit. The filing process is straightforward — most counties accept online uploads and respond within 30–60 days.
Do these exemptions affect future tax-rate increases?
Yes. The homestead exemption caps annual appraised-value increases at 10% (the homestead cap). The over-65 exemption additionally freezes the school-district tax rate on your residence — your school portion of the bill cannot increase even if the school district raises the rate, as long as you continue to occupy the home.
