Start with my propertyBefore you start
Already have a homestead exemption?
You can still check age 65, disability, or disabled-veteran eligibility. An exemption on the public record does not tell us when you first qualified or whether every benefit is in place.
What documents will I need?
Usually your Texas driver’s license or state ID with the property address. Disability and veteran claims need supporting benefit documents. The wizard gives you a checklist, and you can save and return. Address exceptions receive individual review.
Can I recover taxes from earlier years?
Possibly. Eligibility dates, exemptions already granted, and filing deadlines determine which years can be claimed. We review prior years individually; no refund is guaranteed.
What if I am not sure which exemption fits?
Start with your property and answer the online eligibility questions. The wizard identifies which exemptions may fit and which documents to upload. Partial disabled-veteran, trust, heir, surviving-spouse, and other special situations receive individual review before payment.
Still stuck after checking the guide?
You can save and return using your private resume link. For a question the guide does not answer, send a support request. Phone help is available at (210) 316-6953.
Disabled person exemption: what to know before filing
Who qualifies for the disabled-person exemption?
You must meet the disability definition used for Social Security disability insurance benefits, own an interest in the home, and use it as your principal residence. Benefits from another disability program do not automatically establish eligibility.
Official sourceHow much is the disabled-person school exemption?
Qualifying disabled homeowners receive an additional $60,000 school district exemption, in addition to the general $140,000 residence homestead exemption. The age-65 and disabled-person additions cannot both be claimed from the same taxing unit.
Official sourceIs this the same as a disabled-veteran exemption?
No. Disabled-person and disabled-veteran exemptions have different qualification rules. A VA rating alone does not establish the Social Security disability definition. Veterans should also review the dedicated veteran filing options.
Official sourceWhat documents should I prepare?
Prepare your identification, ownership and occupancy dates, and supporting disability documentation. BCAD determines whether the proof is sufficient. The wizard collects benefit documentation or physician certification for review; an upload alone does not guarantee approval.
