Save Hundreds/Thousands on Your Property Taxes – File Your Homestead Exemption by April 30, 2025
Don’t Miss the Homestead Exemption Deadline in Harris County – April 30, 2025!
If you bought a home in Harris County in 2024 and it’s now your primary residence, don’t leave money on the table—file for your Homestead Exemption before the April 30, 2025 deadline!
💰 Why the Homestead Exemption Matters
The Homestead Exemption can significantly reduce the amount of property taxes you pay each year. By filing, you lower the taxable value of your home, which means you owe less in property taxes. For most homeowners, this exemption is worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars over time.
And the benefits don’t stop there:
-
It caps annual increases in assessed value (maximum 10% per year)
-
It protects your home from certain creditors
-
It’s a one-time filing as long as it remains your primary residence
🗓️ Who Should File?
-
You purchased a home in 2024
-
You live in the home as your primary residence
-
You have not already filed for a homestead exemption on another property
📱 Filing Is Easier Than Ever
You can now file from your phone in just a few minutes using the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) apps:
You’ll need:
-
A copy of your Texas driver’s license or ID showing the same address as the home
-
Your property information (easily searchable on HCAD.org)
Or, you can file online through the official site here:
