Homestead Exemption, don't forget!

If you purchased your home in 2011 and you live in Travis or Williamson County, it's time to file your Homestead Exemption, if you haven't already done so.

 

You can file your exemption between January 1st and April 30th in order to receive your homestead property tax reduction for your 2011 taxes, which are due in 2012. The exemption only has to be filed once; not annually.

For Travis and Williamson counties, these forms can be found online at:

Travis County:

Williamson County:
