Texas imposes no state income tax and caps annual homestead appraised value increases at 10%, though this protection only applies once you file for the Homestead Exemption — submit your application to the Parker County Appraisal District by April 30 of the year following purchase. Parker County's Homestead Exemption removes a percentage of your home's value from school taxes, typically saving homeowners $400–$800 annually on median-priced homes. Contact the Parker County Appraisal District to file immediately after closing and verify your exemption status on your next Notice of Appraised Value.
