Medina Central Appraisal District: Disabled Veteran Exemptions

The exemptions are the State's (Tax Code sections 11.22 and 11.131); the Texas entries give the amounts and the rules. The district's own notice: "Property Tax Exemptions for Disabled Veterans - The law provides partial exemptions for any property owned by veterans who are disabled, surviving spouses and surviving children of deceased disabled veterans. This includes homesteads donated to disabled veterans by charitable organizations at no cost to the disabled veterans and their surviving spouses. The exemption amount is determined according to the percentage of service-connected disability." Its forms page lists the "Disabled Veteran's or Survivor's Exemption" application (the Comptroller's form 50-135), and its calendar gives the installment deadlines for disabled veterans and surviving spouses who qualify under section 11.22 to pay homestead taxes in four parts. How many. The district's 2025 Partial Exemption Totals (as of certification in July 2025 and its first supplement, compiled under Tax Code 11.46) show, for the county's own levy: 1,761 homesteads exempt in full for a disabled veteran rated 100% or unemployable (DVHS), $725,597,666 of value, and 36 more for surviving spouses (DVHSS); and partial exemptions by rating of 182 at 10 to 29 percent, 170 at 30 to 49, 249 at 50 to 69 and 839 at 70 or more, with 43 more for survivors. The calendar also lists the deadline for local governments to apply to the Comptroller for disabled veterans assistance payments under Local Government Code 140.011, the State's aid where this exemption takes a large share of a roll; the Commissioners Court's minutes of the past year show no such application.
