Property tax exemptions available to veterans per disability rating

Property tax exemptions are available to Texas veterans who have been awarded 10% to 100% disability rating from the VA*. The following are the exemptions based on Veterans Administration disability ratings:

  • 100% disability ratings are exempt from all property taxes
  • 70 to 99% disability ratings receive a $12,000 property tax exemption
  • 50 to 69% disability ratings receive a $10,000 property tax exemption
  • 30 to 49% disability ratings receive a $7,500 property tax exemption
  • 10 to 29% disability ratings receive a $5,000 property tax exemption

 

If the veteran is deceased and for service members killed in the line of duty, the property tax exemption may be passed on to surviving spouses who do not remarry or a child under age 18 and who is unmarried**.

To receive the exemption, an official award letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs with a minimum disability rating of 10% and up to 100% must be submitted to one’s county Tax Appraisal Office.

The Texas Veterans Commission has contacted officials in all 254 counties of Texas to raise awareness and implementation of the disabled veteran property tax exemption.
