Dallas property tax update for seniors 👇

This year, the City is holding the over-65 and disabled exemption steady at $175,000. No increase for 2026 as the city works through a tighter budget, but the relief itself isn't going anywhere.

Here's what that $175K still does for you 🔥

It comes off the city portion of your taxable value. Combined with the 20% homestead exemption, homeowners with homes valued at $218,750 or less pay no city property taxes at all.

The catch? A lot of people who qualify never file for it.

✅ Primary residence only
✅ 65+ or disabled
✅ File through your county appraisal district (DCAD for Dallas County)
✅ Already have it? No need to reapply

📍 The corner of Preston & Royal is in the headlines. An $800M mixed-use plan with a hotel, condos, and restaurants wants in, and neighbors are pushing back on the height.

Why the passion? Because Preston Hollow isn't just another zip code. Tree-lined streets, real architectural character, one of the most established luxury pockets in Dallas. People here care deeply about what goes up next door.

That's not a knock on growth. It's a sign of how much this neighborhood is worth protecting 🔥

The project still has to clear the City Plan Commission and City Council, so the story isn't over.
