Did you know that Waller homeowners who are 65 and older may receive additional tax exemptions on their homes?
"A person who is 65 or older may receive additional exemptions. You are eligible for these exemptions as soon as you turn 65; you don’t need to be 65 as of the first of the year to apply. School districts automatically grant an additional $10,000 exemption for qualified persons who are 65 or older. An additional advantage of the over-65 exemption is the school tax ceiling. Once you qualify, your school taxes will not increase unless you make improvements to the home. Cities, the county, and other taxing units may, but are not required to, offer over 65 homestead exemptions of at least $3,000 and sometimes much more."
If you have friends who are senior citizens concerned about their taxes, please make sure they are completing the over-65 exemption annually. Visit http://waller-cad.org/Exemptio... for a list of available exemptions and visit https://www.comptroller.texas.... to access the form. Please note that the form must be submitted annually to remain eligible.
