📣 📣 Just a heads up to be watching for later this year:
A new requirement (passed in 2023) now mandates that all Texas homestead tax exemptions must be renewed every 5 years to remain valid. This means that if you currently receive a homestead exemption on your primary residence, you must verify and renew it periodically to continue benefiting from property tax savings.
Failure to renew on time could result in the loss of your exemption and an increase in your property taxes. Be sure to check your renewal status and submit any required documentation before the deadline.
Bottom line? Don't ignore those letters you might receive from your tax appraisal district! (I have heard these renewal request will start going out later this year so make sure you do not think it is junk mail and toss it)!📣 📣
