About the amount
100% DV (§11.131): total exemption of the entire homestead's appraised value — no dollar cap — for a veteran with both a 100% disability compensation award and a 100% rating or Individual Unemployability (IU). Partial DV (§11.22): $5,000-$12,000 of value by rating tier (10-29%=$5,000; 30-49%=$7,500; 50-69%=$10,000; 70%+, or 65+ with a 10%+ rating, or blind/loss of limb=$12,000). New for tax year 2026 (§11.136): total exemption for the unremarried surviving spouse of a veteran who died of a PACT Act presumptive condition, regardless of the veteran's rating.
Housing rules
Must be the veteran's residence homestead (owned and lived in; mobile homes count; up to 20 acres). The partial §11.22 exemption can go on any one property owned, not only a homestead.
How long it takes
Effective the day the veteran qualifies, pro-rated (not next January). Permanent & Total veterans can't be forced to reapply to prove continuing qualification.
How to apply
File Form 50-114, check the '100 Percent Disabled Veteran (or Surviving Spouse)' box, answer the permanent-total-disability question, and attach a VA award/benefit summary letter showing 100% compensation and 100% rating or IU, plus ID showing the property address. File with the county appraisal district — no fee. For the partial exemption, use Form 50-135.
Does not pay for
It's a property-tax exemption — doesn't pay for repairs or HOA dues. For repairs/accessibility, see VA SAH/SHA/HISA, Amy Young, or AAA repair.
