Under a new law (HB 252) passed by the Texas Legislature homeowners applying for a new homestead exemption as of September 1st must provide proof of principle residency to the appraisal district.
What does this mean to you?
If you already have your homestead exemption you do not have to do anything.
If you havent filed your homestead exemption prior to Sept. 1st you will now be required to do 1 of 2 things:
1 - Texas driver's license or state issued identification card & homeowner's vehicle registration receipt.
If you do not own a car:
2 - Current utility bill showing name and address, along with an affidavit stating non-ownership of a vehicle.
