Available Property Tax Relief

About This Program

Texas Disabled Person Property Tax Exemption is available to homeowners in Fort Worth, TX.

Texas homeowners who qualify as disabled under Social Security standards receive an additional $10,000 school district exemption plus a school tax ceiling (freeze), similar to the Over-65 exemption. This prevents school property taxes from increasing as long as the disabled person owns and occupies the property.

School tax freeze prevents school taxes from ever increasing, valuable long-term benefit
