Senior relief
Texas Comptroller guidance: a qualifying owner age 65 or older or a qualifying disabled person receives the additional $60,000 school-district residence-homestead exemption in 2026; local taxing units may adopt additional exemptions of at least $3,000. The school-tax ceiling generally freezes at the amount in the first qualifying year, and eligible owners may request four-installment payment treatment from the tax collector. Local CAD eligibility and documentation rules apply.
Valuation limits
Texas Tax Code §23.23 generally limits a qualifying residence homestead's annual appraised-value increase to the lesser of market value or prior appraised value plus 10% and new improvements. For 2026, §23.231 temporarily limits qualifying non-residence-homestead real property valued at $5,320,000 or less to prior appraised value plus 20% and new improvements; agricultural, timber, wildlife and other productivity appraisals are governed separately. The Texas Comptroller's 2026 special-valuation cap rates are 10.00% for agricultural/open-space land and 7.77% for timberland.
