Tax Ceiling Certificate
If you have an over-65 or a disabled person’s homestead exemption you should be benefiting from a tax “ceiling” applied to your school taxes. If you decide to move, you can request a Tax Ceiling Certificate from your former appraisal district that may help reduce the school taxes on your new home.
What happens if you move? First you need to apply for the over-65 exemption or the disabled person’s exemption on your new home. When you get the new exemption you can benefit by transferring a percentage of school taxes paid on your former home. Please note: only a percentage of your school taxes will be brought to your new property. It is not always in your best interest to move your exemption after January 1.
