Homestead Exemption

File Your Homestead Exemption With the Appraisal District

If your home in Lamb County is your primary residence, you may qualify for a homestead exemption that reduces your taxable value.

Lamb County Money & Taxes

A homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of your home. Lower taxable value means a smaller tax bill. To qualify, your home must be where you live most of the time. It must be your main, primary residence. You apply once with the Lamb County Appraisal District. The appraisal district is the local office that sets property values in the county.

The forms are on the district's website. Deadlines and exact exemption amounts can change year to year. Always check the current rules before you file. You can visit the appraisal district site or call them at (806) 385-6474 to get up-to-date information.
