Filing Your Texas Residential Homestead Exemption

Filing your residential homestead exemption is a great chance for homeowners to combat high Texas property taxes as well as reducing financial stress.  This opportunity is available to owners who use their home as their primary residence.

Filing this exemption is free of charge and simple for you to complete on your own. Benefits can include $230-250 tax savings per year plus prevent your assessed value from increasing more than 10% annually!

Exemptions can be filed any time after you purchased your home and had your driver's license changed to match the property address of which you are applying for.  Time is of the essence when applying for your exemptions.  Below, we have compiled step-by-step directions on filing your residential homestead exemption. We have separated them by each county as finding the necessary form(s) differs between them.

I am completely committed to providing you with first class service before, during and after the purchase or sale of your home. I understand that you have a choice when buying and selling your home and I sincerely appreciated the opportunity to assist you.

If I can ever be of any assistance to you, your family or your friends, please call or text me at 817-233-1409. I will be here when you need me.
