❗Important Homeowner Reminder❗
Texas has tightened homestead exemption rules, and many counties now require homeowners to reconfirm their homestead at least once every five years. If you miss a renewal or verification notice, your exemption can be removed and your property tax bill can jump until it’s fixed.
Here are 3 quick steps to protect yourself:
1️⃣ Look up your property on your county appraisal district website and confirm your homestead exemption is still active.
2️⃣ Watch your mail/email for any “homestead verification” or “re‑application” notices and respond before the deadline.
3️⃣ Use the official Texas directory to find your county’s rules, renewal info, and deadlines: Texas County Appraisal District Directory.
