Lt. Gov. Patrick: Texas Senate Passes Bill Increasing Homestead Exemption to $140,000, and $150,000 for Seniors

“In 2015 when I became Lt. Governor, the Homestead Exemption was $15,000. Today its $100,000 – and $110,000 for seniors. In 2023, the $100,000 Homestead Exemption was codified into the Texas Constitution after voters passed Prop 4 with 83% of the vote. This makes the $100,000 Homestead Exemption permanent, and homeowners receive tax relief every single year – forever. This passage of SB 4 would increase the Homestead Exemption to $140,000, and $150,000 for seniors."
