Are there property tax exemptions for residents of Dallas County over the age of 65?
You will qualify for this exemption on the date you become age 65. This exemption includes a school tax limitation, or ceiling. You must submit proof of age. Acceptable proof includes a copy of the front side of your driver’s license, or a copy of your birth certificate. You may not receive both this exemption and the Disability Exemption. If you qualify for both exemptions, you must choose one. The Over-65 Exemption is generally the better choice, since it qualifies for a school tax ceiling. In addition the Over-65 Exemptions and the school tax ceiling may be transferred to another property if you change your primary residential status to that property.
