About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Texas Homestead Exemption in its Katy, TX research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Texas homeowners who occupy their home as a primary residence on January 1 can exempt at least $100,000 of their home's value from school district property taxes. Additional exemptions are available for seniors, persons with disabilities, and disabled veterans.
