Your application paperwork

Form to file: Form 50-114 (Application for Residence Homestead Exemption)

A residence homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of the home you own and live in, which cuts your property tax bill. You file the Texas Comptroller Form 50-114 once with your local county appraisal district, and the exemption stays in place while you own and occupy the home. There is no fee to apply.

Steps to apply

  1. Confirm you owned and occupied the home as your principal residence on January 1 and do not claim a homestead exemption anywhere else.
  2. Download Form 50-114, Application for Residence Homestead Exemption, from the Texas Comptroller (available in English and Spanish).
  3. Complete the form with your name, the property address, and your driver license or state ID number (the address must match).
  4. File it with your local county appraisal district (not the Comptroller), by mail or through the district's portal, generally by April 30.
