This application currently works only for the general homestead and over 65 exemptions. **You must have a Texas driver’s license or state ID card that matches the property address of your residence.** You may qualify for the general homestead, for a tax year, if you own and occupy the property as your principal residence. The over 65 qualification applies to the year in which you meet the minimum age requirement of 65.

The application filing period is January 1st through April 30th for each tax year. However, after the deadline for filing has passed you may file a late application if it is filed no later than two years after the delinquency date for the taxes.
