Your application paperwork
Form to file: Texas Form 50-123, Exemption Application for Solar or Wind-Powered Energy Devices
Texas exempts the full added home value created by an installed solar or wind-powered energy device, so your property taxes do not go up because of the system. You apply once using state Form 50-123, filed with your county appraisal district.
Steps to apply
- Download Form 50-123 (Exemption Application for Solar or Wind-Powered Energy Devices) from the Texas Comptroller website.
- Complete the form with your property details and information about the installed solar or wind energy device.
- Attach supporting documentation such as installation invoices, receipts, or the contract showing the device and its cost.
- File the completed form with the appraisal district office in the county where your property is located (do not send it to the Texas Comptroller).
- Submit by the appraisal district deadline, generally April 30 of the tax year, to receive the exemption for that year.
Documents you will likely need
- Completed Form 50-123
- Proof of property ownership or address (property account information)
- Installation invoice, receipt, or contract for the solar or wind-powered energy device
- Description or specifications of the installed device
