Your application paperwork

Form to file: Form 50-114, Residence Homestead Exemption Application

The disabled person residence homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of your home, reducing your property tax bill. In Texas you apply with the county appraisal district where the home is located (for example, Tarrant Appraisal District), not the state, using Form 50-114, and the exemption stays in place without yearly reapplication.

Steps to apply

  1. Confirm you own and live in the home and that you meet the disabled person standard (you qualify if you receive Social Security disability benefits, or a doctor certifies you cannot work due to disability).
  2. Get Form 50-114 from the Tarrant Appraisal District homestead page or the Texas Comptroller, or use the TAD online homestead filing option.
  3. Complete the form, check the Disabled Person box in Section 1, and attach your disability proof and a copy of your Texas ID showing the property address.
  4. File online through TAD, or mail or deliver it to Tarrant Appraisal District, Attn: Exemptions, 2500 Handley-Ederville Road, Fort Worth, TX 76118, generally between January 1 and April 30 (late filing is allowed up to two years after the deadline).
  5. Keep your submission confirmation; applying is free and you do not refile each year.
