The deadline to file a homestead exemption is April 30th; however, you can file a homestead exemption for up to 2 years after the delinquency date of the taxes. The normal delinquency date for taxes in Texas is February 1st. Filing a homestead exemption after the April 30th deadline may result in a refund to the homeowner.

Example
You qualify for a homestead exemption for 2020. You are timely in filing your homestead exemption if you file it by April 30th of 2020, but you have until January 31st 2023 (2 years after the 2020 tax payment delinquency date of February 1st 2021)  to file a homestead exemption for 2020. If you have already paid your 2020 taxes by the time you file the exemption, you will be issued a refund by the taxing entities.
