Homestead Exemption Audit- Senate Bill (SB) 1801

During the 88th regular session, the Texas legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 1801, effective September 1, 2023. This bill requires the Bandera Central Appraisal District to develop a program for periodic review of each residence homestead granted under Texas Property Tax Code Section 11.13. The bill requires the Chief Appraiser to verify each residence homestead at least every 5 years to confirm the recipient of the exemptions still qualify.

Applications will be mailed out to property owners requesting a new application be filed. The deadline to file the Homestead application is April 15.

There is no charge or fee associated with filing an exemption application with the Bandera Central Appraisal District.

THE COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR-COLLECTOR DOES NOT DETERMINE PROPERTY VALUES OR TAX RATES
