For anyone that sustained damages to their home or business in the recent floods, this is helpful information. Here is the link of the Governor’s declaration.

From Tammy McRae, Montgomery County Tax Assessor Collector:
If the floodwaters or harsh weather of the past few days damaged your home or business, you may be eligible for a break on your property taxes.
The tax break applies to regions of the state declared disaster areas by the governor. Governor Greg Abbott issued such a disaster declaration for 29 counties, including Montgomery County, on April 30.
People are eligible for the tax break if their home or business sustained at least 15% damage due to the disaster – a determination that would be made by the appraisal district,
Property owners must apply for the temporary exemption no later than 105 days after the governor declares a disaster. Form 50-312, Temporary Exemption Property Damaged by Disaster (PDF)
The deadline is August 13, 2024.
We understand this is a difficult time. For questions or assistance, please contact the Montgomery Central Appraisal District at [email protected].
We encourage you to act promptly if you believe your property value has been impacted by the recent storms and flooding.
