Find Homestead Exemption Forms on the website for the property’s county appraisal district (links below). This webpage may not reflect the most recent appraisal district websites; please confirm accuracy of information using a search engine.

When filing a Homestead Exemption Form, attach a copy of the homeowner’s driver’s license or state-issued personal identification certificate. The address listed on the ID must match the address of the property for which an exemption is claimed in the application.

Filing for a Homestead Exemption is FREE! Disregard offers from companies saying they will file the application for a fee. Those offers are a SCAM.

Don’t forget: mortgage interest and certain loan costs may be tax deductible. Consult with a tax professional for more information.

File this Homestead Exemption form only once; if the homeowner refinanced a home for which they already have a Homestead Exemption, they do not need to refile again.

PLEASE NOTE: State of Texas law (passed in 2023) requires appraisal districts to verify eligibility every five (5) years. To verify eligibility at that time, the appraisal district might request property owner(s) to complete a verification form and provide a copy of their Texas driver’s license or ID with an address that matches their property. Deadlines will vary, depending on the exemptions on the property. Verification procedures may vary by appraisal district; however, most appraisal districts are expected to mail a written notice to the homeowner with instructions for the five-year verification process. Call or email the county appraisal district for the latest information and procedures of the county in which the property resides.
