About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Texas Homestead Property Tax Exemption ($100,000) in its Dallas, TX research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Texas law mandates a $100,000 homestead exemption from the appraised value of a primary residence for school district property taxes. The City of Dallas and Dallas County also offer additional local exemptions. Qualifying homeowners see meaningful annual property tax savings, which improves housing affordability and available funds for home repair.
Reduces taxable value by $100,000 for school taxes. At Dallas-area school tax rates of roughly 1.0-1.3%, this saves approximately $1,000-$1,300/year.
