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 Newton County Appraisal District by April 30 of the year following purchase. The exemption removes a portion of value from school and county taxes, providing meaningful relief even in low-tax counties like Newton. Review your Notice of Appraised Value each spring and file a protest by May 15 if the assessed value seems inconsistent with comparable sales.
