New Homestead Application Requirements

*****New Eligibility Requirements for Homestead Applicants*****

HB 252, effective September 1, 2011 Homestead applicants must submit:

1) Copy of Driver’s license, and

2) Copy of Vehicle registration receipt or, if applicant owns no vehicles, a utility bill. The Chief Appraiser is prohibited from granting the exemption unless the address on the property matches both:

• the address on the driver’s license or state-issued personal identification, AND
• the applicant’s vehicle registration receipt, or
• if applicant owns no vehicles, the address on the utility bill. 

The applicant or applicant’s spouse cannot claim a homestead on any other property in the United States. Under Penal Code, sec 37.10 a person who intentionally claims a homestead the person is not eligible to receive is guilty of a state-jail felony (180 days to two years in a state jail and an optional fine of up to $10,000.)
