With the deadline approaching for local property tax exemptions (April 30, 2021) the Northern Third Ward Neighborhood Implementation Project partnered with the Harris County Appraisals District to host a free virtual Tax Exemption Workshop on Monday, April 26, 2021.
This workshop provided residents with information on:

-How to save money with exemptions
-How to get more time to pay your taxes
Apply for a Homestead Tax Exemption
All homeowners are entitled to a Residential Homestead Exemption on their principal residence. A homestead exemption helps you save taxes on your home by removing part of the value of your property from taxation, thereby lowering your taxes.
For example, if your home is valued at $100,000 and you qualify for a $20,000 exemption, you pay taxes as if your home was worth only $80,000. The most common types of exemptions that are available include over-65, disability, over-55 surviving spouse, and 100% disabled veteran.
