💡 Save More on Property Taxes
Texas homeowners can reduce their property tax bill significantly. File for your homestead exemption immediately after closing (saves $2,000-$3,000/year on a typical home). If you're 65+ or disabled, you qualify for additional exemptions and a tax ceiling freeze. You can also protest your assessed value each year - about 70% of protests result in lower valuations.
