Texas law caps annual appraisal increases at 10% for homestead properties, but this cap only applies once you file your Homestead Exemption — submit the application to the Marion County Appraisal District by April 30 of the year following your purchase. The exemption removes a portion of assessed value from school and county taxes, typically saving homeowners $500–$1,000 annually.
