For Veteran’s Day, we’re spotlighting an important benefit that can make a real difference for disabled veterans in Texas: property tax exemptions. These exemptions are designed to ease the financial burden for veterans who’ve served our country and have a disability rating. Knowing what exemptions are available can lead to substantial property tax savings, and for those who need extra support, Home Tax Solutions is here to help.
Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemptions in Texas
Texas offers multiple levels of property tax exemptions based on a veteran’s disability rating. A 100% disabled veteran is entirely exempt from property taxes on their primary residence. Veterans with a 10% to 90% disability rating also receive a percentage-based exemption. Here’s a breakdown:
- 100% Disabled Veteran: Full exemption on residence homestead.
- 10%–90% Disability Rating: Partial exemption, scaled to match the disability rating.
- Surviving Spouses: Surviving spouses of qualifying disabled veterans may also be eligible for certain property tax exemptions, allowing them to maintain their homes affordably.
Eligible veterans need to submit applications to their county appraisal district by April 30, and once approved, exemptions automatically renew annually.
Additional Benefits for Disabled Veterans
Apart from property tax exemptions, Texas also provides veterans with benefits like reduced tolls, access to veterans’ nursing homes, free licenses, and more. By maximizing these benefits, veterans can better manage financial obligations and enjoy more stability.
