Ins and Outs:

The objective of this course is to provide a complete understanding of the homestead exemption. The class will cover: how the homestead exemption impacts the value of property for the calculation of property taxes; how and when to apply for the homestead exemption; the impacts of the over-65/disabled persons exemption on property taxes; how to transfer the over-65/disabled persons exemption when moving homesteads; how the homestead exemption is used when located with agricultural property as well as the most recent changes to the homestead exemption.

How to Protest:

Property owners across Texas are faced with increases in property values. These increases lead to many property owners protesting their values with the Central Appraisal District. Real estate agents are often contacted to provide information to be used in these protests. This course will provide information to real estate agents that they can pass along to property owners that will help to ensure correct values are placed on property with the Central Appraisal Districts.

BBQ will be catered by Stone Catering.
