Homestead exemptions deliver valuable property tax relief to Orange County residents by lowering the taxable value of their homes.

  • Eligible homeowners benefit from a minimum $25,000 exemption on their primary residence for school district taxes.
  • Orange County CAD grants an additional optional 20% exemption, reducing taxable property value even further.
  • Local taxing entities, including cities and special districts, may provide exemptions of up to 20%, with a required minimum of $5,000, no matter the percentage calculation.

Homeowners aged 65 and older enjoy extra tax benefits through Orange county appraisal district property tax exemptions, reducing their tax burden.

  • Automatically receive an additional $10,000 exemption on your home’s value for school taxes.
  • Once qualified, your school taxes are frozen at the current rate unless you make home improvements.
  • Other taxing units, like cities and counties, may offer additional exemptions of at least $3,000 or more. Contact Orange CAD or check their website for specific details.

  • Qualify with a 100% disability rating or individual unemployability from the Veterans’ Administration (VA).
  • A 2019 law streamlines the application process, making it easier to claim exemptions on heirship properties.
  • Property owners with partial exemptions on heir property can now upgrade to a full 100% homestead exemption.

If your property was affected by the April or May storms, you may qualify for a disaster exemption to reduce your 2024 taxes. Here’s how it works:

  • The exemption applies to homes, buildings, manufactured homes, and business property used for income production.
  • Property owners must apply for the temporary exemption by October 21, 2024 to receive tax relief.

A surviving spouse may continue receiving tax benefits after the death of their spouse if they meet specific criteria, as outlined by the Orange County Appraisal District (Orange CAD).

  • The surviving spouse must be 55 or older and the deceased spouse must have been 65 or older at the time of death.
  • If the couple shared the home, the surviving spouse can continue to receive the Over-65 exemption.
  • The surviving spouse must continue living in the same house they both shared to maintain this exemption.
