Texas homeowners could see property tax relief on the horizon. This November, voters will have the opportunity to approve three new property tax exemptions designed to ease the burden on certain property owners. These proposed changes, passed by the Texas Legislature, reflect ongoing efforts to address rising housing costs and make homeownership more affordable.

What Are the Proposed Exemptions?
The three measures that will appear on the November ballot include:

An additional homestead exemption for elderly and disabled homeowners to provide further relief for some of the state’s most vulnerable residents.
A new exemption for property owners whose homes are under construction due to damage from disasters, aimed at easing the tax load during rebuilding.
An exemption for certain childcare facilities to support affordability and access to childcare services by reducing facility tax costs.

These measures will become law only if approved by Texas voters.

Why This Matters for Homeowners
Property taxes are a major expense for Texas homeowners, especially as rising appraisals continue to drive up tax bills in fast-growing areas. If these exemptions pass, they could offer targeted relief to those most in need including seniors, disabled Texans, disaster-affected families, and communities relying on childcare services.

What’s Next?
Voters will weigh in on these proposals during the November 2025 election. Between now and then, homeowners should stay informed about how these measures could affect them—and plan to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

Texas continues to explore new ways to balance the need for local funding with the financial realities faced by property owners. The November election will be a key moment for homeowners hoping for meaningful tax relief. Stay tuned for more details on how these exemptions could impact your property tax bill.
