Texas law caps annual appraised value increases at 10% for homestead properties, but this protection only applies once you file a Homestead Exemption — submit your application to the Fannin County Appraisal District by April 30 of the year following your purchase to lock in this rate. The exemption also removes a portion of your home's value from school taxes, typically saving $400–$800 annually depending on local school district rates. Request a Notice of Appraised Value from the Fannin County Appraisal District after closing and file a protest by May 15 if the assessed value exceeds the market price you paid.
