Texas Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption
Texas Comptroller / Tarrant County Appraisal District
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Texas Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption in its Fort Worth, TX research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Texas provides property tax exemptions to veterans with service-connected disabilities ranging from $5,000 (10-29% disability) to full exemption (100% disability) on their primary residence. Veterans with 100% disability pay zero property taxes on their home. The exemption transfers to surviving spouses who have not remarried and maintain the same property.
100% disabled veterans pay no property taxes on primary residence, significant annual savings in Texas

Your application paperwork
Form to file: Texas Comptroller Form 50-135, Application for Disabled Veteran's or Survivor's Exemption
This is a property tax exemption, not a cash grant, that reduces or eliminates the property taxes a qualifying disabled veteran (or surviving spouse) owes on their home, based on the veteran's VA disability rating. You claim it by filing Texas Comptroller Form 50-135 with the county appraisal district where the home is located, which for Dallas County is the Dallas Central Appraisal District.
Steps to apply
- Download and complete Texas Comptroller Form 50-135 (Application for Disabled Veteran's or Survivor's Exemption).
- Attach proof of your disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or your branch of service (a driver's license is not accepted as proof).
- File the form and documents with the Dallas Central Appraisal District (the appraisal district where the property is located), not with the Comptroller.
- File by April 30 of the tax year if possible. A disabled veteran may file late up to five years after the taxes became delinquent, while a surviving spouse has up to two years after delinquency.
- Watch for a determination letter from the appraisal district confirming the exemption.
Documents you will likely need
- Completed Form 50-135
- Proof of the service-connected disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or your branch of service (a driver's license is not accepted)
- Proof of property ownership and Texas residence as the appraisal district requests
- Surviving spouses also provide the veteran's death documentation and proof they have not remarried
Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules and application route with the administrator. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
