Age 65 / Disability Exemption

Extra Property Tax Breaks for Seniors and Disabled Homeowners

Homeowners who are 65 or older, or who have a qualifying disability, can get an additional property tax exemption and a school tax freeze.

Williamson County Money & Taxes

If you are 65 or older, you may qualify for an extra exemption on top of the standard homestead exemption. You can apply in the year you turn 65 — you do not have to wait until the next January. A disability exemption is also available if you cannot work because of a physical or mental disability.

These exemptions also come with a school tax ceiling — meaning your school taxes cannot go higher than they were the year you qualified. That ceiling transfers to a surviving spouse who is 55 or older. Apply at WCAD (wcad.org) or call 512-930-3787.
