You must live in the home to qualify for the tax break. Some states exempt a certain percentage of a home's value from property taxes, while other states exempt a set dollar amount. If your state uses a percentage method, the exemption will be more valuable to homeowners with more valuable homes.

To be eligible, a homeowner must occupy the homestead any 6 months out of the year, but must reside there on July 1. This exemption is a reduction of the taxable value of their property amounting to a maximum $4,850 or the amount which does not allow the taxable value to be less than 0.

This law increased the annual Texas homestead tax exemption from $40,000 to $100,000, starting with January 2023 taxes. While tax savings relief stole the headlines, another law was enacted that may require homeowners to renew their application for their homestead exemptions every five years.
Each state — and even each county — can make its own rules about who qualifies for a homestead exemption and how much it is. In most cases, people with “permanent and total disability”, veterans, seniors (people 65 and older) and the surviving spouses of veterans can qualify if they have limited income.
Note: Applications will be processed in the order they are received. We strive to process exemptions as quickly as possible, but at times processing could take up to 90 days to process, per Texas Property Tax Code Section 11.45.
