may lower the property
taxes on your farm,
ranch or timberland!
Texas law allows farmers, ranchers, wildlife managers and
timber growers to pay property taxes based upon the pro-
ductivity value of their land rather than on market value.
This means qualified land is taxed based on its ability to
produce crops, livestock or timber—not on its value on the
real estate market. And it can mean substantial property
tax savings.
Do you need to reapply annually?
If your land already receives agricultural or timber produc-
tivity appraisal, you normally don't need to reapply unless
the chief appraiser requires you to do so. If a new applica-
tion is required, the appraisal district will notify you by mail.

If you are the surviving spouse of a U.S. armed services member killed in action,
you are entitled to an exemption from taxation of the total appraised value of
your residence homestead.
Do I have to apply each year?
No. If you had a homestead exemption on your home in 2015, you won't need to
reapply for 2016 unless your chief appraiser requires it. However, if you haven't
received an exemption on your present home—or if you've moved to a new
home—you'll need to file for an exemption for 2016. If you are age 65 this year,
you may file for the age 65 or older exemption up to one year after the date
you became age 65. And if you became disabled, you may file for the disabled
person's exemption.
When and where should I file?
File applications before May 1 at your appraisal district office. If you need
more time, contact us at:
A homestead exemption lowers the property taxes on your home by lowering
its value. If your home is valued at $50,000 and you receive a $25,000 homestead
exemption, your home will be taxed as if it were worth $25,000.
Who qualifies for an exemption?
Anyone who owns a home on Jan. 1 and uses it as a primary residence on that
date is entitled to a $25,000 homestead exemption to lower school taxes. It
doesn't matter if your home is a house, condominium or mobile home. Counties,
cities and special taxing districts may also offer homestead exemptions.
Are other exemptions available?
If you're disabled—or if you're 65 years old or older—you are entitled to an
additional $10,000 school tax exemption on your home. And if you qualify
for the age 65 or older or disabled exemption, you're also entitled to a per-
manent, locked-in "ceiling" on the school property taxes on your home. The
county, city or junior college may adopt a tax ceiling for age 65 or older or
disabled homeowners. The age 65 or older homeowners school tax ceil-
ing transfers to the surviving spouse, if the spouse is age 55 or older at the
time of death and lives in and owns the home. The age 65 or older home-
owners (or their surviving spouses age 55 or older) also may transfer the per-
centage of school tax paid, based on their former home's school tax ceiling to
a new home.
