Great news for our Veterans. If you are a disabled veteran who is receiving disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs you could be eligible for a Residence Homestead Exemption. To receive a disabled veteran exemption, you must either be a veteran who was disabled while serving with the U.S. armed forces or the surviving spouse or child (under 18 years of age and unmarried) of a disabled veteran or of a member of the armed forces who was killed while on active duty. You must also be a Texas resident and can only choose one property to receive the exemption.
In order to receive your exemption you will need to submit a Disabled Veterans Homestead Exemption Application with the Bexar Appraisal District. Click here to get the application.
I have attached the pamphlet the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts put together so you can learn more about the Homestead Exemption for Disabled Veterans. You can get the pamplet by clicking here.
