Changes in Texas Property Tax Laws Affecting Residential Homestead Exemptions
Effective September 1, 2011 , in order to qualify for a residential homestead exemption you must provide the appraisal district with a copy of either your Texas driver's license or Texas ID Card.
The address on your driver's license or state ID card must match the physical address of the residence for which you are applying.
This address must also be the same as the address on your vehicle registration. Attach a copy of your vehicle registration receipt to your homestead application.
Remember: The addresses shown on each of the documents must be the same as the address for which the homestead exemption is sought, according to the Harris County Appraisal District. All three MUST have the same address.
Listed below is important information to help you get an updated vehicle registration and/or and updated or new driver's license or Texas-issued personal ID Card. No vehicle? That's covered, too.
