Your application paperwork

Form to file: Texas Comptroller Form 50-135, Application for Disabled Veteran's or Survivor's Exemption

This is a property tax exemption, not a cash grant, that reduces or eliminates the property taxes a qualifying disabled veteran (or surviving spouse) owes on their home, based on the veteran's VA disability rating. You claim it by filing Texas Comptroller Form 50-135 with the county appraisal district where the home is located, which for Dallas County is the Dallas Central Appraisal District.

Steps to apply

  1. Download and complete Texas Comptroller Form 50-135 (Application for Disabled Veteran's or Survivor's Exemption).
  2. Attach proof of your disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or your branch of service (a driver's license is not accepted as proof).
  3. File the form and documents with the Dallas Central Appraisal District (the appraisal district where the property is located), not with the Comptroller.
  4. File by April 30 of the tax year if possible. A disabled veteran may file late up to five years after the taxes became delinquent, while a surviving spouse has up to two years after delinquency.
  5. Watch for a determination letter from the appraisal district confirming the exemption.
