▪ Texas property owners applying for the homestead exemption are required to submit documents indicating their county of residence. [Verify this info on DallasCad.org (PDF)] With the homestead application, homeowners must provide photocopies of the following materials:
- The applicant’s vehicle registration receipt,
- The applicant’s Texas driver’s license or Texas ID Card.
The homestead application, vehicle registration and Texas license/ID card must all have the same address. Applicants who do NOT own a vehicle are required to submit a notarized affidavit certifying that fact and provide a copy of a current utility bill. The address on the utility bill must be the same as the address on the application for the homestead exemption. Filing the homestead form is FREE! Disregard offers from companies saying they will file the homestead form for a fee.
