Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD)
The Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD) administers all property tax exemptions for Dallas County, including homestead, over-65, disabled, and veteran exemptions. Homeowners can apply online at dallascad.org or visit the DCAD office. Exemptions reduce the taxable assessed value of the property, lowering annual property tax bills and freeing funds for home repair. Many eligible homeowners have not filed.
Filing is free. Combined exemptions can save $1,000–$5,000+ per year depending on disability status, age, and veteran status.
