Over-65 and disability exemptions go through Denton CAD

Beyond the regular homestead exemption, Denton CAD handles extra exemptions for homeowners age 65 or older, people with a qualifying disability, disabled veterans, and certain surviving spouses. These come on top of the standard exemption and can take a real bite out of your taxable value.

The over-65 exemption also brings a school-tax ceiling that can freeze the school portion of your bill, which matters a lot on a fixed income. These are appraisal-district decisions, not something the county tax counter sorts out when you pay.

If someone in the household turns 65, becomes disabled, or inherits the home from a qualifying spouse, contact Denton CAD before the next tax bill arrives. Filing the right form on time is what keeps the exemption, the ceiling, and the account correct.
