Angelina CAD warns homeowners to be wary of Homestead designation and Deed processing solicitations

 

The appraisal district is regularly contacted by homeowners who have unnecessarily paid money to solicitors who for a fee offer to file designation of homestead and or homestead exemption forms in Angelina and other counties.
There is absolutely no charge for a homeowner to file his or her own homestead exemption application with the appraisal district, and application forms are available both on CAD’s website and from the district’s office at  418 N Second st at no charge.

As for Deed processing solicitations, you may get a copy of your deed from the County Clerk’s office for a nominal fee.

Business Personal Property Renditions

Angelina County Appraisal District Reminds Businesses to Render their Taxable Property by April 15

If you own tangible personal property that is used to produce income, you must file a rendition with the Angelina County Appraisal District by April 15.

A rendition is a report that lists all the taxable property you owned or controlled on Jan. 1 of this year. Property includes inventory and equipment used by a business. Owners do not have to render exempt property, such as church property or an agriculture producer’s equipment used for farming.

“The appraisal district may use the information submitted in the rendition to set property values,” said Tim Chambers.

You can also file a report of decreased value to notify the appraisal district of significant depreciation of your property. “For example, if your property was damaged by a storm, flood or fire last year, you should file a report of decreased value. The appraisal district will look at your property before assigning a value,” said Chambers.

For most property types, renditions must be filed after Jan. 1 and no later than April 15. Different deadlines apply in certain appraisal districts. A property owner may apply, in writing, for a mandatory extension to May 15.

Different deadlines apply for regulated properties.

A 10 percent to 50 percent penalty may be imposed if a rendition is filed late, incomplete or not at all. Property owners who need more time to file their renditions may file a written request with the chief appraiser on or before the rendition deadline to receive an automatic extension. The chief appraiser may extend the deadline another 15 days for good cause shown in writing by the property owner for each type of property.
