How the Homestead Exemption Works in Titus County

Texas law requires school districts to take $140,000 off the taxable value of your main home. That means you pay school taxes on a lower number. Other taxing units, like the county, can add their own exemptions on top of that.

To get the exemption, you file an application with the Titus County Appraisal District. You must include a copy of your Texas driver's license showing your home address. The general deadline is April 30, but Texas also allows late filing in some cases. Check titus-cad.org for current forms and deadlines, since they can change.
