Don’t Forget to File Your Homestead Exemption for 2014
Posted by Keisha York
We can all use a little help to keep our property taxes as affordable as possible…. Don’t miss your window to file for Your Homestead Exemption if you bought your home in 2013.
Just wanted to remind you to be sure and mail in your Homestead Exemption form in order to receive a discount on your property taxes, should your property be eligible.
You will normally receive a form from your local County taxing authority in the mail between January and the end of March. You have until April 30th of that same year to file this exemption. Should you receive a request from any service or person other than the County where you reside asking for a fee to file the document for you, please disregard it. Please be aware that filing your HomesteadExemption is free through your local taxing district.
Remember, filing is free and only needs to be done once while you reside at the property. Should you have any questions regarding your homestead exemption, I’ve included a list of some of the area taxing authorities for your convenience. If you live in two separate counties, you must file in both counties.
Collin County Appraisal District – 469-742-9200
Dallas Central Appraisal District – 214-631-0910
Denton County Appraisal District – 940-349-3800
Rockwall County Appraisal District – 972-771-2034
Tarrant County Appraisal District – 817-284-0024
If you receive a survey from the County or City asking you what you paid for your home, you do not have to disclose this information. Only your loan amount was recorded by the title company.
This may help you keep your taxes down a little longer.
