General Residence Homestead Exemption
The City of Grand Prairie offers a general homestead exemption of 17.5% of the assessed value of qualifying homes from

taxation by the City. In order to qualify for this exemption, the property must be owned and occupied as the owner's
principal residence on January 1, and the application must be submitted by April 30th of the year for which the

exemption is requested. Once the exemption is granted, homeowners do not need to reapply on an annual basis. This
exemption can combine with the senior exemption and the senior freeze.

Over 65 & Disabled Persons Homestead Exemption
The City of Grand Prairie offers an additional exemption for homeowners aged 65 or older ($45,000) and for disabled

homeowners ($30,000). Property owners must apply for this exemption when turning 65 or for initial disabled
homeowner status. Once the exemption is granted, homeowners do not need to reapply on an annual basis.

Senior Freeze

The City of Grand Prairie offers additional taxpayer relief for homeowners aged 65 or older. After qualifying, the city
portion of the tax bill imposed may not increase as the base value prior to exemptions. The dollar amount is frozen as
long as the property remains the individual’s residence and has not increased in square footage. This exemption can

combine with the general homestead exemption and the senior homestead exemption.
