The company will inform you that you are entitled to a homestead exemption for property tax purposes, and that this will allow you to lower the amount of tax you pay.
Property owners can submit an application for exemption easily and free of charge.
When the appraisal district approves your homestead exemption application, you will probably pay a lower amount in property tax than you did last year. If the exemption is approved retroactively, and you have paid your property tax for last year, you will receive a refund for any over payment of 1996 taxes. If you want to know the basic requirements of residence homestead exemptions, contact the Travis County Tax Office . Exemption information and forms are also available on this site.
