Texas caps annual appraisal increases at 10% for homestead properties, but this cap only applies once you file — submit your Homestead Exemption application to the Comanche County Appraisal District by April 30 of the year following purchase. The exemption removes a portion of assessed value from school and county taxes, potentially saving $400–$600/year on your median $140,700 home. Contact the Comanche County Assessor immediately after closing to confirm your homestead filing deadline and review your initial appraised value notice.
