Disclaimers

Effective November 5, 2026

Not government

ExemptBack is a private product. It is not an official state, county, or appraisal district document or service, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any appraisal district, tax office, or the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.

Filing is free

Exemption applications are free from your appraisal district or the Comptroller's website. You can file without us.

Not legal advice

ExemptBack is self-help software. It is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. No attorney-client relationship is created.

Not a property tax consultant

We do not represent anyone in a protest, act as anyone's agent, or negotiate with an appraisal district. You file your own application.

Estimates

Dollar figures are estimates from the information you enter and current law. Past-year estimates use current rates. Actual results are decided by your appraisal district and tax offices. No result is guaranteed.
