Tax Deferral Affidavit Over-65 Homestead, Disabled Homeowner or Disabled Veteran
If you are a homeowner age 65 or over, disabled or a disabled veteran you can defer,
or postpone, paying delinquent property taxes on your homestead for as long as you
own it and live in it. To postpone your tax payments, file a tax deferral affidavit with
your appraisal district. The deferral applies to delinquent property taxes for all of the
taxing units that tax your home.
You should be aware that a tax deferral only postpones payments, it does not cancel
them. Interest will be added at the rate of 5% annually. Once you no longer own your
home or live in it, all the taxes, penalties, and interest become due after 180 days and
the taxing units may proceed with a lawsuit to collect delinquent taxes if the taxes
remain unpaid.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: This affidavit is used to obtain a tax deferral on the collection of residence homestead taxes pursuant to Tax Code
Section 33.06. Homeowners seeking a deferral or surviving spouses seeking to continue a deferral should complete the appropriate affidavit
below.
NOTICE: Your property may still be subject to collection or foreclosure actions arising from other debts or liens including, but not limited to,
mortgages or home loans. The services of a competent professional should be sought to obtain assurance or guidance regarding your individual
situation.
