Texas law caps homestead property appraisals at a 10% annual increase, but this protection only applies after you file a Homestead Exemption with the Motley County Appraisal District by April 30 of the year following your purchase. The exemption exempts a portion of your home's value from school taxes and often county and city taxes, typically saving homeowners $300–$800/year depending on local taxing entities. Contact the Motley County Appraisal District immediately after closing to request an exemption application and confirm your property qualifies as your primary residence.
