Voters 65+ or Disabled
If you qualify for an age 65+ or disabled person residence homestead exemption, the school district taxes on your residence homestead cannot increase above your approved tax ceiling—as long as you own and live in the home and do not make any improvements/additions. The tax ceiling is the amount you paid in the year you qualified for the exemption. While your school district taxes may decrease, they cannot increase above your tax ceiling.
YOU MUST APPLY FOR THIS EXEMPTION.
Why will my ballot read “THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE”, if I have an approved homestead exemption?
Texas legislature passed laws in 2019 requiring all bond elections to include the following language on the ballot: “THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE”. The state mandates all bond ballots to include this language, regardless of what individual exemptions each voter may have.
