Texas caps annual appraisal increases at 10% for homestead properties, but this cap only applies once you file your Homestead Exemption application with the Red River County Appraisal District by April 30 of the year following purchase. The exemption removes a portion of assessed value from school and county taxes, providing meaningful savings given Red River's higher effective rate of 1.54%. Review your Notice of Appraised Value each spring and file a protest by May 15 if the assessed value exceeds 10% above the prior year.
