How to Freeze Your Property Taxes As a Senior (Legally!)
Property taxes feel like a moving target in Texas, always creeping higher as property values rise. But what if, at a certain age, you could hit pause on those increases and protect your retirement budget for good?
That’s exactly what Texas’ Senior Freeze and other senior property tax exemptions allow you to do. Most homeowners only know bits and pieces of this powerful benefit, but knowing the full picture could save you thousands.
The Hidden Catch with Texas Property Taxes:
Property taxes are one of the biggest ongoing expenses of homeownership.
Rising home values often mean bigger tax bills year after year.
Many seniors assume there’s nothing they can do to stop the increases—or that if they move, they’ll lose any protection they had.
How to Lock in Your Taxes and Save Thousands:
What most people don’t realize is that once you turn 65, you may be able to:
Freeze your school district taxes at today’s level (no matter how much your home value climbs).
Stack additional exemptions to reduce your taxable home value even further.
Transfer your tax ceiling to a new home anywhere in Texas—keeping your savings intact if you decide to move.
👉 The catch? These benefits aren’t automatic—you have to know when and how to apply.
Why This Matters:
The difference can be thousands of dollars in savings annually, giving you more flexibility in retirement planning, home improvements, or even choosing a new place to live.
