Texas imposes no state income tax and caps annual homestead appraised value increases at 10%, but this cap only applies once you file — submit your Homestead Exemption application to the Tyler County Appraisal District by April 30 of the year following purchase. The exemption removes a portion of value from school and county taxes, saving most Tyler County homeowners $500–$1,000/year depending on local tax rates. Review your Notice of Appraised Value each spring and file a protest by May 15 if the assessed value exceeds fair market value or comparable properties.
