The bill requires the Chief Appraiser verify each residence homestead at least every 5-years to confirm the recipient of the exemptions still qualify. For more information, click here.

What is a Homestead Cap?

Cap value applies to residential homesteads only and it goes into effect the second year after a residential homestead exemption has been granted for your residence. If the property is your residence homestead, the appraised value may not exceed the sum of:

  • 10 percent of the appraised value of the property for the preceding tax year; plus
  • the appraised value of the property for the preceding year; plus
  • the market value of all new improvements to the property.
