Property Tax and Appraisals

For many senior homeowners, rising property taxes can be a threat to their financial stability, even though their mortgages may be paid off.

The Texas Tax Code, Section 33.06, allows taxpayers 65 years of age or older to defer their property taxes until their estates are settled after death. You can contact the Comptroller of Public Accounts and your county tax assessor/collector's office for information about property tax deferment and exemptions on homesteads for elderly homeowners.
