Cameron Appraisal District: Disabled Veteran Exemptions

The Cameron Appraisal District lists the Disabled Veteran and 100% Disabled Veteran's Homestead exemptions among what it administers, requires proof of Texas residency for all owners, and takes applications through its forms library, which carries the Comptroller's 50-114 and 50-135 forms; its site warns it is often mistaken for the County Tax Office across the highway.

Also called: property tax, appraisal district, 11.131, 11.22, homestead, form 50-114, form 50-135, surviving spouse, San Benito, Richard Molina, prodigy.

The exemptions are the State's; the Texas entries explain them. The Cameron Appraisal District grants them for property in Cameron County, from 2021 Amistad Drive, San Benito, Texas 78586 (P.O. Box 1010, San Benito, Texas 78586); 956-399-9322, 956-541-3365 or 956-428-8020; fax 956-399-6969. Hours: Monday to Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The chief appraiser is Richard Molina. What it administers. The district's FAQ answers "What exemptions are available?" with the over-65, the over-55 surviving spouse, the disability homestead, the Disabled Veteran, cemeteries and the rest. For a primary residence the list is "Homestead, Over-65, Disabled Persons, or 100% Disabled Veteran's Homestead", and the FAQ adds the partial exemption's rule: a "Disabled Veteran's Exemption may be applied on any one property the Texas resident owns" - the section 11.22 rule that the property need not be the homestead. "All applications require proof of Texas residency for all owners of the property to qualify. (I.e. driver's license for a licensed driver.)" And both spouses on a deed must apply: "Both spouses must apply and both spouses must provide required information." Filing. Applications come from the district's forms library - a Prodigy script app at cameron.prodigycad.com/forms, read here in headless Chrome - which lists "Residential Homestead and/or Disabled Veterans with 100% Disability 50-114" and "Disabled Veteran's or Survivor's | 50-135" (the Comptroller's forms), with the district's exemption chart PDFs beside them; an application can also be picked up in the office or mailed on request at 956-399-9322. Not the tax office. The district's home page warns it is "often mistaken for the Cameron County Tax Office", which "is located across U.S. Hwy 83 from our office at: 1390 W Expressway 83 San Benito", and says the district does not collect taxes or answer tax questions - a veteran with an exemption question asks the district, and one with a tax bill asks the tax office.
