2024 APPRAISAL NOTICES ON THEIR WAY TO PROPERTY OWNERS
As we approach April, many counties across Texas are preparing to release their 2024 appraisal values, and it's anticipated that many of these values will be exceptionally high. If you've purchased a primary residence in the past few years, it's crucial to ensure that you establish your Homestead Exemption. The good news is that you no longer have to wait until January 1st to file for your homestead exemption; you can now file it the day after you close on your property. It's important to note that the homestead exemption is only available to owner-occupant properties and not investor properties. Be sure to check your appraisal values to determine if you should file a protest. You can find specific information for your county below, including links that can also inform you if your Homestead Exemption has been created.
