KLEINWOODJust Curious….

Thanks to one of our residents for following up on a common question regarding the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) exemption for homeowners that qualify for the Over-65 school tax exemption. Per Susan Leifeste of the Harris County Appraisal District, if the value of a home in a given year is less than the value originally applied when the owner qualified for the over-65 exemption, the school taxes would be calculated on the new, lesser value. The school tax ceiling just means that school taxes can never be greater than the amount paid when the school tax ceiling was originally applied.
