Texas Homestead Exemption ($100,000)

About This Program

Texas's enhanced homestead exemption provides a $100,000 reduction in the school district assessed value of a homeowner's primary residence (as of 2023 legislation). This exemption reduces the taxable value on the school district portion of property taxes, which typically represents the largest share of Texas property tax bills. File once with the Tarrant County Appraisal District.

Annual savings approximately $1,200–$1,500 depending on local school district tax rate
