Inheriting a Dallas home means losing the over-65 tax cap
Original: He'll Inherit His Mother's Dallas Home. Her Over-65 Tax Ceiling Will Die With Her, and the School Tax Bill Will Double
A man set to inherit his mother's Dallas home faces a steep property tax increase. Texas's over-65 homestead exemption freezes school taxes, but that ceiling ends when the owner dies. Once the home passes to him, the school portion of the tax bill will roughly double, illustrating how inheritance can trigger a major cost jump even without a sale.
Why now: It highlights a little-known tax rule that catches many families inheriting homes in Texas.
