For persons age 65 or older or disabled, Tax Code Section 11.13(c) requires school districts to provide an additional $10,000 residence homestead exemption. Tax Code Section 11.13(d) allows any taxing unit to adopt a local option residence homestead exemption. This local option exemption cannot be less than $3,000.
The Over-65 exemption is for property owners who claim their residence as their homestead - this exemption is a maximum of $85,000 of taxable valuation. A disabled person may qualify for a $85,000 disabled residence homestead exemption.
