April 30th is the deadline to file for the residential homestead exemption homeowners can use to lower their school taxes. The appraisal district is who processes the application, and if you live in Travis County you can contact the Travis County Appraisal District.
In addition the homestead exemption homeowners who are over 65 or disabled can qualify for the state exemption and receive an additional $10,000 school tax exemption on their home, and a lock-in on the school taxes. This exemption will survive the spouse if the remaining spouse is 55 years or older, owns the home, and is a resident.
Don't let the year pass you by without taking advantage of this great benefit offered by the great State of Texas; remember file by APRIL 30th !!
