There are several Property Tax Exemptions that taxpayers may take advantage of, in order to receive a tax break from their property taxes.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION:

A taxpayer may apply for a Homestead Exemption only on their principal residence. The Homestead Exemption removes part of the property’s value, on qualifying tax entities, thus lowering the taxes due on the property. The Homestead Exemption Application must be filed with the Cameron County Appraisal District.

QUESTION:
I received my tax statement and it does not show my exemption.

ANSWER:
Perhaps you have not filed the proper affidavit with the Appraisal District. You are entitled to a Homestead Exemption if you own your home and it is your residence as of January 1. In order to receive a Homestead Exemption, an affidavit must be filed with the Cameron County Appraisal District. All exemptions, such as Homestead, over 65, disabled persons, and disabled veterans, require execution of affidavits, and these should be returned to the Cameron County Appraisal District for proper handling. If you so request, we will mail the necessary forms to you, or you can obtain them directly from the Cameron County Appraisal District.
