Important Information

This calculator takes into account the $140,000 homestead exemption afforded to Texas residents who apply for it and allows for two selections: the estimated tax impact and the current appraised value of your home (please keep in mind that the appraised value is not the same as the market value). If you qualify for an age 65+ or disabled person residence homestead exemption, the school district taxes on that residence homestead cannot increase as long as you own and live in that home.

Voters 65+ or disabled

Voters 65+ or Disabled Tax exemption

If you qualify for an age 65+ or disabled person residence homestead exemption, the school district taxes on your residence homestead cannot increase above your approved tax ceiling—as long as you own and live in the home and do not make any improvements/additions. The tax ceiling is the amount you paid in the year you qualified for the exemption. While your school district taxes may decrease, they cannot increase above your tax ceiling.

You must apply for this exemption. 

Why will my ballot read “THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE”, if I have an approved homestead exemption?

Texas legislature passed laws in 2019 requiring all school bond elections to include the following language on the ballot: “THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE”. The state mandates all bond ballots to include this language, regardless of what individual exemptions each voter may have.
