Homestead Exemption

Homestead Exemption Can Lower Your Tax Bill in Gray County

If your home in Gray County is your main residence, you may qualify for a homestead exemption that reduces the value your taxes are based on.

Gray County Money & Taxes

Texas law lets homeowners apply for a homestead exemption on their primary residence. This reduces the taxable value of your home, which lowers your property tax bill. You apply through the Gray County Appraisal District, not the tax office.

When you apply, you must include a copy of your Texas driver's license or other ID that matches the property address. Check the Gray CAD website or call (806) 665-0791 to get the current form and confirm the application deadline — these details can change from year to year.
