Your application paperwork
Form to file: Form 50-123 (Exemption Application for Solar or Wind-Powered Energy Devices)
Texas exempts the added value that a solar or wind energy device gives your property from property tax, so installing solar or wind does not raise your tax bill. You file Texas Comptroller Form 50-123 once with your local county appraisal district. (Texas law also protects a homeowner's right to install solar.)
Steps to apply
- Confirm you own the property and have installed (or will install) a solar or wind energy device for on-site use.
- Download Form 50-123, Exemption Application for Solar or Wind-Powered Energy Devices, from the Texas Comptroller.
- Complete the form with the property and device information.
- File it with your local county appraisal district (not the Comptroller), generally by April 30.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof you own the property.
- Documentation of the solar or wind energy device (invoice or installation details).
- Your property's appraisal district account or parcel information.
- The completed Form 50-123.
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.
