You can have part of your property value exempted from property tax, on a sliding scale set by the disability rating the VA gave you: $5,000 for a 10 to 29 percent rating, $7,500 for 30 to 49 percent, $10,000 for 50 to 69 percent and $12,000 for 70 to 99 percent. Property tax in Texas is assessed locally, so the county appraisal district grants it. If you qualify for more than one veteran property tax exemption you can only take one, so take the largest you qualify for.
File the Texas Disabled Veteran’s or Survivor’s Exemption Application, Comptroller Form 50-135, with the county appraisal district where your property is located, not with the state.
