-Applications for Residential Homestead Exemption (available on most county appraisal district websites) - Copy of Texas Driver’s License or Texas ID Card. The address must match the homestead address intended for the exemption. - Copy of Vehicle Registration receipt. The address must match the home-stead address. Homeowners can get a copy of their registration receipt from the Department of Motor Vehicles. If you do not own a vehicle, you must complete the Non-Ownership of Motor Vehicle Affidavit (found on the Homestead Exemption application), and have it notarized and attach a copy of a utility bill showing the homestead address. - The Homestead Exemption will not be allowed unless all the required documents show the same homestead address.
