## Amounts that apply statewide

Every Texas school district, including those in Tarrant County, must exempt $140,000 of a homestead’s value, plus $60,000 for owners 65 or older or disabled (tax year 2025 and later). City, county and special district exemptions vary by taxing unit; your TAD property record lists each unit and the exemptions applied.

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2022 | $40,000 | $10,000 | $50,000 |

## Missed a year?

TAD applies the same state late-filing rule: up to 2 years after the delinquency date for each tax year (§11.431), or 5 years for disabled veteran exemptions (§11.439). See [late filing and refunds](https://exemptback.com/late-homestead-exemption-refund).

**Not sure what your record shows?** The free check reads your county record with you, applies the rules on this page, and shows any back-year refunds and yearly savings. If you are already covered, it says so.
