Forms & Exemptions
The district uses the forms prescribed or approved by the Texas Comptroller (Tax Code § 5.07). File completed forms with the district office by mail, email, or in person.
Get notices by email
Any property owner, or an agent you have designated, may elect to exchange communications with this district electronically instead of by postal mail (Tax Code § 1.085). The election covers notices, applications and other communications under the Property Tax Code, there is no fee, and it stays in effect until you rescind it in writing. File Comptroller Form 50-843, or contact the district office.

Renditions and property reports must be filed on Comptroller-prescribed forms, or forms that substantially comply with them (Tax Code § 22.24). The full form library is at comptroller.texas.gov.
Agricultural special appraisal
Qualifying land is not exempt from property tax. Instead, it is appraised on its agricultural productivity value rather than its market value — commonly called agricultural or open-space (1-d-1) special appraisal (Tax Code §§ 23.51–23.55). Eligibility depends on the current agricultural use, use history, and local intensity standards; acreage alone does not establish eligibility. Apply on Comptroller Form 50-129. Converting the land to a non-agricultural use can trigger a rollback tax.
Your privacy in online records
Address confidentiality (Tax Code § 25.025)
Texas law does not provide a general opt-out from publishing a property owner's name. Certain individuals — including peace officers, judges, prosecutors, and victims of family violence, stalking, sexual assault or trafficking — may restrict public access to their home address in the appraisal records by filing Comptroller Form 50-284 with the chief appraiser. That election stays in effect until you rescind it in writing.
What is not posted (Tax Code § 11.48, § 25.025, § 25.027)
Driver’s license, personal identification and Social Security numbers given on an exemption application are confidential and are never posted (Tax Code § 11.48). Home-address information is withheld for anyone with a confidentiality election on file (Tax Code § 25.025). State law also bars posting a photograph, sketch or floor plan of a home, other than a street-level photo of the exterior, an aerial photo showing more than one building, or an outline sketch, and bars posting anything that shows a property owner’s age (Tax Code § 25.027).
