Texas enforces a 10% annual cap on homestead appraised value growth, but only if you file a Homestead Exemption with the Grimes County Appraisal District by April 30 of the year after purchase — failure to file means your property can be reappraised at market value each year. The exemption removes a portion of your home's assessed value from school, county, and city tax bills, typically saving $800–$1,500 per year even in a high-value market. Submit your exemption application to the Grimes County Appraisal District within 30 days of closing and request written confirmation of your protected base appraised value.
