Texas homeowners age 65+ or disabled receive an automatic school tax ceiling that freezes school district property taxes at the amount paid in the year they qualified. Additional optional tax ceilings available from some cities and counties.
Prevents school tax increases regardless of rising property values; estimated savings vs. average increases over 10 years
