Austin considers doubling homestead exemption on city property taxes


As property taxes continue to soar for Austin homeowners, City Council members are looking to intervene with a countermeasure they ve long resisted: raising the city s homestead exemption to the maximum allowed by state law.
This week, the council is poised to authorize doubling the current 10% exemption on city property taxes and taking it to the maximum of 20% allowed by Texas law.
