Apr. 21. 2022
Hello, Homestead Exemption qualified clients of 2022!
I hope your 2022 is off to a great start and you have been enjoying your home, but this is a friendly reminder you have some business to attend to!
First, I want to thank you again for trusting in the team and I for your real estate needs. We had a record-breaking 2021 and appreciate your business and referrals!!
Secondly, You are probably aware that as a homeowner you are entitled to a discount on your annual property taxes for your primary residence called a ‘Homestead Exemption.’ (This has to be your primary residence, however).
**As an FYI, if you have not changed your address on your driver’s license, you need to do that first (because the county will ask for a photocopy when you send in your form (or file online)**
Below are the links to download the necessary forms to claim your exemption
(Yay for Travis Co finally catching up with filing online!)
Travis County or File Online
Mailing Address: P.O. BOX 149012, Austin, TX 78714-9012
Williamson County or File Online
Mailing Address: 625 FM 1460, Georgetown, TX 78626-8050
Mailing Address: 21001 IH 35 North, Kyle, Texas 78640
{You can find more information about how to claim your Homestead Exemption with detailed instructions on our website, or by reading the FAQ’s on the Texas Comptroller’s website. Don’t delay, as the deadline for filing is April 30.}
**Your PID will come in the mail soon with a paper application to fill out, or you can call the county, or look up your property online.** Note! If you bought an A/B unit, you may only have one PID and need to chat further with the county on separating out the land for two separate PIDs**
More side notes:
-If you bought later in 2021, the county may be behind still, set a reminder in your calendar to check back in for your PID.
-If you are NOT married but both live in the home and file taxes separately, then you BOTH will want to fill out the exemption.
-If you ARE married and file jointly, only one of you has to be on the form.
If you are still lost, just email me…happy to help.
Ashley and Team
