Did you recently purchase a new home which is your new homestead and you are currently over 65 years old? You do not have to wait until the following January 1st to claim your Over 65 Exemption in order to reap the benefits of your property tax savings. After the deed on the new property is filed, you can go the County Tax Appraisal website, download and complete the form, attach your new driver’s license (showing the new property) and file the form with your Appraisal District. You can begin your property tax savings on the date you moved into the property. Say SWEET!
