Property Tax Exemption Extended to Veterans’ Surviving Spouses
Texas continues to do its part to help military veterans and their families. A full homestead property tax exemption that began in 2009 for totally disabled veterans will extend to their surviving spouses after January 1. This means spouses of disabled veterans who have died won't have to give up the property tax exemption their late spouses were entitled to.
