We’ve lowered your taxes! As part of our ongoing commitment to the residents of Harris County ESD No. 24, the Board has recently reviewed and approved our tax exemptions for the 2026 tax year.

We understand the importance of balancing exceptional emergency services with financial responsibility to our taxpayers. To help keep more money in your pockets,  we have granted the following exemptions:

• General Homestead Exemption: We have approved a 5% exemption on the value of your primary residence appraised.
• Over-65 Exemption: We have granted a $100,000 exemption for our senior residents.
• Disability Exemption: We have granted a $125,000 exemption for qualifying residents , with disabilities.

These exemptions represent a direct reduction in the taxable value of your property, leading to lower tax bills for our community members. We consider it an honor to serve this district and protect our neighbors, and we remain dedicated to providing the highest level of emergency response services.
