FILING INSTRUCTIONS: You must furnish all information and documentation required by this application so that the chief appraiser is able to determine

whether the statutory qualifications for the exemption have been met. This document and all supporting documentation must be filed with the

appraisal district office in each county in which the property is located. Do not file this document with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.

A directory with contact information for appraisal district offices may be found on the Comptroller’s website.

APPLICATION DEADLINES: You are to file the completed application with all required documentation beginning Jan. 1 and no later than April 30 of

the year for which you are requesting an exemption. If you qualify for the age 65 or older or disabled persons exemption or the exemption for donated

homesteads of partially disabled veterans, you are to apply for the exemption no later than the first anniversary of the date you qualify for the exemption.

Pursuant to Tax Code Section 11.431, you may file a late application for a residence homestead exemption, including an exemption under Tax Code

Sections 11.131, 11.132 and 11.133, after the deadline for filing has passed if it is filed not later than one year after the delinquency date for the taxes on the

homestead.

DUTY TO NOTIFY: If the chief appraiser grants the exemption(s), you do not need to reapply annually. You must reapply if the chief appraiser requires you

to do so, or if you want the exemption to apply to property not listed in this application. You must notify the chief appraiser in writing before May 1 of the

year after your right to this exemption ends.
