Agenda Item
Discuss and take appropriate action on increasing the homestead property tax exemptions for disabled persons from $20,000 to {NOT TO EXCEED $50,000} dollars as authorized by Section 11.13(d) of the Property Tax Code, to be effective for the tax year beginning on January 1, 2021.
Background
On December 18, 2018, the Commissioners Court agreed to begin a review of the County's exemption policy every five years, beginning 2020. On October 22, 2019, the Commissioners Court voted to increase the Over 65 Exemption from $25,000 to $30,000 and increase the Disabled Person Exemption from $15,000 to $20,000. Given the increase in residential appraisals in 2021, the Commissioners Court discussed on May 11, 2021, increasing exemptions this year, instead of waiting the full five years for review. This item is being brought back from the May 11th agenda to discuss and determine the correct amount for exemption increases.
