Disabled veteran property tax exemptions in Brazos County

Partial relief has four levels. A 10-29% rating can remove up to $5,000 from value. The next levels are $7,500 for 30-49%, $10,000 for 50-69%, and $12,000 for 70-100%. A Texas veteran chooses one owned property for this benefit. Some veterans who are 65 or older, blind, or unable to use one or more limbs can also reach the $12,000 level.

Full relief on a main home has a tighter test. The veteran must get VA pay at the 100% rate for a service-connected disability. The VA must also rate the veteran 100% disabled or unable to work due to that disability.

A surviving spouse follows different rules. To keep the full relief, the spouse must usually stay unmarried and keep the same home. After a move, the old dollar benefit may transfer. The new home is not always fully exempt.

Use Form 50-135 for partial relief and Form 50-114 for the full claim. File with Brazos CAD. Add current VA or military proof. April 30 is the usual deadline. Some late claims are allowed, but each claim has its own clock.
