Overview
Texas residents who have a homestead and are either age 65 or older or who are disabled qualify for a $10,000 homestead exemption for school district taxes. This is in addition to the $25,000 homestead exemption for all homeowners. When a person who has qualified for this exemption moves to a new principal residence, they can also transfer the percentage savings they have on these school taxes to the new residence. This factsheet explains how this transfer works and provides assistance in how to transfer the percentages. (2 pages)
