Due to the February 12, 2021 disaster declaration by the governor, certain properties within Kaufman County may qualify for a temporary exemption under section 11.35 of the Texas Property Tax Code.
One of the primary requirements for a “qualifying property” is that at least 15 percent of the structure value was damage by the disaster (the exemption applies to tangible business personal property used in the production of income as well). For example, if the market value as determined by the Chief Appraiser is $100,000, the damage would need to be a minimum of $15,000 to qualify.
If you believe your property may qualify, an application for the temporary exemption is located online at Kaufman-cad.org. You may also obtain an application by contacting our office at 972-932-6081.
The current application deadline is May 28, 2021.
