CITIZENS 65 & OLDER HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION - TAX FREEZE

According to state law, the dollar amount of school taxes imposed on the residence homestead of a person 65 years of age or older cannot be increased above the amount paid in the first year after the person turned 65, regardless of changes in tax rate or property value unless significant improvements are made to the home. If you are 65 or older, you may file a homestead application at any time, or contact your appraisal district to see if you already have the appropriate exemption on file.

Last November, Statewide voters approved an increase in the State’s Homestead Exemption from $40,000 to $100,000. The average MISD homeowner would expect to have received a $634 annual reduction in school taxes with the $100,000 Homestead Exemption.

Based on the District’s current tax base, the proposed bond program is estimated to impact the District’s current bond tax rate by $0.20 per $100 valuation. For the average MISD home worth $225,000 with the $100,000 Homestead Exemption, it would be an impact of $20.83 a month. It is important to note that the overall tax rate in MISD has decreased by $0.46 since 2017.

Below is the calculated homeowner impact with the assumed $100,000 Homestead Exemption.
