Your application paperwork
Form to file: Form 50-114, Residence Homestead Exemption Application
The disabled person residence homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of your home, reducing your property tax bill. In Texas you apply with the county appraisal district where the home is located (for example, Tarrant Appraisal District), not the state, using Form 50-114, and the exemption stays in place without yearly reapplication.
Steps to apply
- Confirm you own and live in the home and that you meet the disabled person standard (you qualify if you receive Social Security disability benefits, or a doctor certifies you cannot work due to disability).
- Get Form 50-114 from the Tarrant Appraisal District homestead page or the Texas Comptroller, or use the TAD online homestead filing option.
- Complete the form, check the Disabled Person box in Section 1, and attach your disability proof and a copy of your Texas ID showing the property address.
- File online through TAD, or mail or deliver it to Tarrant Appraisal District, Attn: Exemptions, 2500 Handley-Ederville Road, Fort Worth, TX 76118, generally between January 1 and April 30 (late filing is allowed up to two years after the deadline).
- Keep your submission confirmation; applying is free and you do not refile each year.
Documents you will likely need
- Completed Form 50-114 with the Disabled Person exemption selected
- Proof of disability: a current Social Security Administration disability determination or award letter showing the date you became disabled, or a completed physician's statement (TAD form 5025, dated within the past 12 months)
- Copy of your Texas driver license or state ID card with an address matching the property
- Property account number or address (if known)
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.
