| Disabled Veterans Receive Property Tax Relief | | Military veterans who are totally disabled or cannot work because of service-related injuries will pay no property taxes on their homes under a new tax exemption approved by the Legislature. House Bill 3613 provides an exemption of the total appraised value of the homesteads of Texas veterans who have received a 100 percent disability rating or are considered unemployable by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The new law is effective for the 2009 tax year. Detailed Q&A can be found on our FAQ page. We will be mailing new applications to all owners with a DAV starting July 15th, 2009. Additionally, an application form can be found on our Forms page that can either be mailed or hand delivered to our office with the corresponding VA documentation.
