Burnet County's homestead application is Form 50-114

A qualifying main home receives a $140,000 school-tax exemption. An owner who is 65 or older or disabled may receive another $60,000 school exemption. Cities, the county, and other units may add local options, so two addresses can have different totals.

File Form 50-114 with Burnet Central Appraisal District. A buyer who qualifies after January 1 may receive the basic exemption for part of the purchase year if the prior owner did not receive it that year.

You generally do not reapply every year. BCAD can ask for a new form, and you must report when the home no longer qualifies. Use BCAD's current forms page rather than a saved copy when ownership or filing dates matter.
