IN RE:
HB3325 by Goodwin (Relating to notice by an appraisal district to an owner of residential property of the owner's potential eligibility for a residence homestead exemption from ad valorem taxation of the property and the manner in which certain owners may apply for the exemption.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 25 of the Tax Code, relating to Local Appraisal, to revise the notice sent by an appraisal district to an owner of residential property regarding the owner's potential eligibility for a residence homestead exemption to include instructions on how the property owner can complete and submit the application online or request a residence homestead exemption application form from the appraisal district.
The bill would require the chief appraiser, upon receiving a request for a residence homestead exemption application form, to provide the form by first-class mail or in person at the appraisal office.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
