More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the determination of the appraised value of a residence homestead for ad valorem tax purposes’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill amends the Texas Tax Code to establish limitations on the appraised value of residence homesteads for ad valorem tax purposes, capping increases to the lesser of the market value or 115% of the previous appraisal, plus any new improvements. It allows counties to hold elections to set a higher cap on appraisals, effective with voter approval.

The bill's provisions apply to tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2026, contingent upon voter approval of a related constitutional amendment.
