Texas Senior Property Tax Ceiling
Hopkins County Appraisal District
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Texas Senior Property Tax Ceiling in its Sulphur Springs, TX research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Texas law allows homeowners aged 65 or older to freeze the amount of school property taxes on their homestead. Once the ceiling is in place, school taxes cannot increase even if property values rise, providing protection from rising tax burdens for seniors.
Estimated annual savings from frozen school taxes compared to market increases
