The exemptions are the State's - Tax Code 11.131's total exemption of a 100 percent or unemployable disabled veteran's homestead and 11.22's partial exemption by rating - and the State entries carry their rules. What Wilson County adds is how its offices handle them. The Appraisal District's practice, from its November 2025 information sheet: "A property owner who is a 100% Disabled Veteran qualifies for total exemption, DVHS, on their primary residence. In addition to the application and VA award letter, the address on their driver's license is required to match the property address to qualify. The appraisal district is able to process an application using a copy of the temporary license." And: "DVHS is prorated from the date of closing forward. The owner on record at the time tax statements are generated will receive the tax bill. An account with a prorated DVHS will generate an amount due for the portion of the year not under total exemption, unless the seller also had the DVHS." The sheet adds that the appraisal district alone decides who qualifies and that some exemptions can be applied to earlier years. Its Forms page links the Comptroller's form 50-135, Disabled Veteran's or Survivor's Exemption, and the residence homestead application 50-114. The Tax Office. The Tax Assessor-Collector's FAQ describes both exemptions, the 11.131 total exemption for a veteran with "a 100% service connected rating from the United States Department of Veteran Affairs, or is unemployable," and the partial exemption by rating, which "can be taken on any property in Texas."
